I want to personally welcome you to our pilot issue of the OLPC Weekly 'zine. In the past several weeks, a stupendous team of volunteers have come together to help assemble summaries of the vast amount of OLPC information available. The hope is to help keep OLPC supporters informed on what's going on, what's new, and what's coming up. |
|||
I really hope you like it. And if you are excited for future issues, or have something to contribute, please don't hesitate to drop any of our editorial board a note. As we expand and cover more areas, we will also be looking for more volunteers to give us a hand, if interested [[Weekly_zine/How to contribute|please contact us ]]. |
|||
Enclosed is a great collection of contributed articles and notes, please feel welcome to glance around at your own pace. We look forward to regularly publishing, and sharing more with you in the future. To find out more about our group of volunteers, check our information page at [[Weekly_zine/About]] . |

Greetings!
I want to personally welcome you to our pilot issue of the OLPC Weekly 'zine. In the past several weeks, a stupendous team of volunteers have come together to help assemble summaries of the vast amount of OLPC information available. The hope is to help keep OLPC supporters informed on what's going on, what's new, and what's coming up.
I really hope you like it. And if you are excited for future issues, or have something to contribute, please don't hesitate to drop any of our editorial board a note. As we expand and cover more areas, we will also be looking for more volunteers to give us a hand, if interested please contact us .
Enclosed is a great collection of contributed articles and notes, please feel welcome to glance around at your own pace. We look forward to regularly publishing, and sharing more with you in the future. To find out more about our group of volunteers, check our information page at Weekly_zine/About .
See you next time...

Last week : Suzanne Buchele started working with other teachers in Ghana, introducing them to the XO; and upgraded her group's XOs to the latest stable build.
Tim Falconer pushed to get two dozen XOs for his upcoming trip to Haiti, in advance of the larger shipment they are receiving later this month. While offering to buy XOs from owners in North America, they received a dozen of them in two days for free (and were able to get the rest via eBay).
This week : Larry Weber of OLPC PR firm the W2 Group, has been working to send 100 laptops to Kliptown, South Africa. Whitney Hunter-Thomson is travelling there in a week, to prepare the ground before the laptops arrive in March. She has been boning up on OLPC ideas and implementation stories, and is visiting the offices this week in Cambridge. She aims to get in touch with members of OLPC South Africa before she travels, to help start a local support group there. Anyone with contacts near Jo'burg is invited to get in touch with the OLPC South Africa community to lend a hand.
