'''This repair center has largely been merged with [[OLPCinci]].''' |
|||
Run by the [[Olin university chapter]] (main contact person is [[User:Nlee|Nikki Lee]]). The initial brainstorming for the Olin repair center can be found at [[Olin university chapter/Repair center]]. |

== Goals == |
|||
#REDIRECT [[OLPCinci]] |
|||
* to provide a useful service to OLPC |
|||
* to give Olin students valuable engineering experience |
|||
* to have fun |
|||
The current plan of action is to deal primarily with RMAed machines, as this saves Olin from dealing with potentially complicated financial issues (shipping, billing, paying for parts, etc.). Parts will be obtained from 1CC, and laptops/parts can be delivered by hand and exchanged during office hours. |
|||
== Pilot program == |
|||
The Olin repair center will serve as a repair center pilot program, exploring various ways of doing things in order to provide recommendations to future repair centers. |
|||
=== Laptop tracking === |
|||
Ideas, brainstorming, testing, and reviews for laptop tracking methods will be posted here as generated. The current "XO monger", [[User:GregMarra|Greg Marra]], has been tracking laptops on campus by hand. However, repair center operations necessitate more thorough tracking, implementing some sort of tracking database. |
|||
== Milestones == |
|||
(This will probably find a better home soon) |
