[[Image:Laptop_Giving_2008.gif]] <br/>
Some 90% of people in the US don't know about g1g1, and aren't sure that OLPC is in mass production. Let them know change is already underway, help them get involved and realize their own dreams.


== Media ==
There are a variety of resources for those who want to create or recreate their own media for the upcoming event. Many communities including [http://flickr.com/groups/olpc flickr] and [[OLPC SF]] have created amazing media that is available under a free license. Media is also available [[:Category:Media|on this wiki]].




{{:Community_media/gallery}}
This year's laptop program in incredibility important to the community and to OLPC itself. Last year we sold X laptops and have given out XX% so far. This year we can do better, and you can help bring laptops to even more kids.


== Community involvement ==
=== from countries ===
How? The simple answer is to ''tell people about OLPC''! In person, in mass or on the internet. Together we can tell a lot of people in really special ways.


=== Media bundle ===
=== from communities online ===
[http://www.nowpublic.com Nowpublic]:
The first thing that we can do, is provide resources and encourage those who want to create or recreate their own media for the upcoming event. OLPC has some photos and videos, they need to be on hand. Many communities including [http://flickr.com/groups/olpc flickr] and [[OLPC SF]] have created amazing media that is in open license too.
* [http://www.nowpublic.com/node/1629770/footage/list footage for the Amazon announcement], last updated Nov 14


We need to pull together all of the resources for OLPC media in one place and let people create more [http://flickr.com/photos/dieselhorst/2517221839/in/pool-535050@N23 awesomeness] from it.


=== Media bundle ===
At first this should be a collection of links, and eventually there should be a big standard torrent of sources available in open license.

'''Todo''':
* Pull together available resources for OLPC media in one place and let people create more [http://flickr.com/photos/dieselhorst/2517221839/in/pool-535050@N23 awesomeness] from it.
* Set up a link collection to resource pools, seed a torrent for a media pack of sources with attribution/license details
* Torrent seeding : There are 8gb of freely-licensed [[Sound samples]] available for use with XOs and other tools. There are tons of great sounds contained therein, but the existing seeders are usually offline; this needs reseeding to spread the message to other sound enthusiasts.

Current media campaigns : tell people about OLPC, talk or present about current programs in other countries, talk about our G1G1 giving program. In person, in mass or on the internet. Some 90% of people in the US don't know about g1g1, and aren't sure that OLPC is in mass production. Let them know change is already underway, help them get involved and realize their own dreams.
