Disclaimer

This registry was inspired by a topic on the OLPC News forum, [1]. Some people are willing to pass on their XOs to others, either as a gift or a loan. At present, the registry is simply intended as a way for people to identify themselves as needing or offering XOs. Neither OLPC, OLPC News, AuntiMame nor Sarah Elkins are responsible for any miscommunications.

Improve This Page!

Maybe you know of another resource for XO exchanges, or another wiki.laptop.org page that should link here. Or you may have another idea to improve this page. Go ahead and add the information! This page has a history, so if you make a mistake, it's not fatal. Note, instructions for table creation are at [2], but table editing might be trickier for wiki newbies; revisit table question if this page gets a lot of names added?
