You are invited to the first OLPC Health Jam in Seattle, WA!

One Laptop per Child will be holding an open Health Jam and hackathon
from Friday April 18 through Sunday April 20. The three-day event will be
hosted on the University of Washington campus.

The focus of this event is to kick-start development on Health-related
OLPC initiatives - hardware, software, and content - as well as testing
the existing projects with local health workers.

To register or to view more information, including how you or your group
can participate, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_Jam. We
hope to see you there!

About OLPC

One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit organization created to
design, manufacture, and distribute laptops that are sufficiently
inexpensive to provide every child in the world access to knowledge
and modern forms of education. The rugged, Linux-based,
mesh-networking-enabled, and power-efficient laptops have begun to be
deployed to children by schools across the world on the basis of one
laptop per child. OLPC is based on constructionist theories of learning
pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay, as well as the
principles expressed in Nicholas Negroponte's Being Digital.

About OLPC Health

The OLPC Health effort is interdisciplinary group working on medical-related
projects associated with the XO, including software, hardware, and content.
Health projects can be a local grassroots undertaking, a student group project,
a pilot implementation, a global community creation-sprint weekend - we cut
across geographic, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries to help all
health-related OLPC work move forward.

Curating the Wiki

  • Let's study examples such as:
    • the Human Interface Guidelines
    • VistA Monogrphaph Wiki
    • WorldVistA
    • HealthJamSeattle
    • etc. (Bring your own)
  • The Templates that support these examples.
  • The MediaWiki Bots that groom them. Up and Down load them, etc.
  • Semantic MediaWiki
  • C
  • Transcluding,
  • etc.

I've been been looking at other folks wiki pages, studying how they did things, and putting it all together in my own wiki pages.

But, I still have a lot to learn.

Maybe the Curating the Wiki strand should be part of all Jams, not just HealthJams

Porting Borland Delphi (Pascal) Apps to the XO
