The Deployments page summarizes actual regional deployments of OLPC laptops.

There are many other interest groups, user groups, and advocacy groups around the world enthused about OLPC's mission and the XO laptop.

Setting up a group

Add a section to the "Talk" page (click the [discussion] tab) if you're interested in meeting other users and there isn't already a group in your area.

Infrastructure that can be used in forming groups:

This isn't an exhaustive list, Community building and How to start a grassroots group have more ideas.

Groups might also set up their own Jabber server, since there isn't one set up for XO owners as a whole, due to scale and cost issues.

Larger regional groups

OLPC Spanish America
a portal about laptop distributions in Spanish America
OLPC Europe
a meta-grassroots group with their own newsletter and bi-monthly meetings
OLPC Oceania
covers the OLPC Australia and OLPC New Zealand as well as the Solomon Islands and many other countries. OLPC Friends is the regional community organisation
