Countries are not always the best - most logical regional entity to gather people: many borders / countries are artificial, remnants of wars or colonialism, cutting people with the same language and culture in two or worse. Hence the logic of this category: Regional Groups.

Check out the countries page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Countries . The software that makes this wiki has a great feature called "[[Categories]]". When you put at the bottom of your page the [[ Category:Countries ]], the wiki software understands you want your page to be taken up in an overview page where all the countries are listed and it does that automatically. There's many categories that have been created: e.g. on deployment where all matter related to deployment and kick-starting new groups are grouped together, etc. Just keep it in mind.

Note: All these pages starting with [[ OLPC and then a country name]] are actually reserved for the official representation of the NGO OLPC and mostly there is no registered national OLPC subsidiary. Probably you/they want to refer to a national/regional OLPC Community, but that just starts with [[ the country name ]]: so not [[OLPC Belgium]] but [[Belgium]].
==== North Carolina ====
When the dots have to be put on the "i", it is illegal to call yourself "OLPC Belgium", only a mandated entity by OLPC in the USA/MIT not for profit, can open up a regional OLPC office in Belgium. What you can do is create a starting page [[Belgium]] - but of course with your country name - and call yourselves "the OLPC Community in Belgium", and then you could e.g. put - on your country page - a list with regions in your country and start working out the page of your region if that's relevant at all, because mind yourself splitting-up/separating OLPC Community members. Learn to be open and collaborative. You are very few OLPC minded people in a country, unpaid most of the time. Your competitors are the paid commercial people from other for profit ICT companies. You will need all free energy/time available in a country to compete them.--[[User:SvenAERTS|SvenAERTS]] 09:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

For the latest live global map, please see http://olpcMAP.net.

Countries are not always the best - most logical regional entity to gather people: many borders / countries are artificial, remnants of wars or colonialism, cutting people with the same language and culture in two or worse. Hence the logic of this category: Regional Groups.

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.

Check out the countries page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Countries . The software that makes this wiki has a great feature called "Categories". When you put at the bottom of your page the, the wiki software understands you want your page to be taken up in an overview page where all the countries are listed and it does that automatically. There's many categories that have been created: e.g. on deployment where all matter related to deployment and kick-starting new groups are grouped together, etc. Just keep it in mind.

20 Active Groups for groups.laptop.org

Wanted: an active HAITI group - Then please leave at least YOUR name and contact me. --SvenAERTS 09:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)




Note: All these pages starting with OLPC and then a country name are actually reserved for the official representation of the NGO OLPC and mostly there is no registered national OLPC subsidiary. Probably you/they want to refer to a national/regional OLPC Community, but that just starts with the country name : so not OLPC Belgium but Belgium. When the dots have to be put on the "i", it is illegal to call yourself "OLPC Belgium", only a mandated entity by OLPC in the USA/MIT not for profit, can open up a regional OLPC office in Belgium. What you can do is create a starting page Belgium - but of course with your country name - and call yourselves "the OLPC Community in Belgium", and then you could e.g. put - on your country page - a list with regions in your country and start working out the page of your region if that's relevant at all, because mind yourself splitting-up/separating OLPC Community members. Learn to be open and collaborative. You are very few OLPC minded people in a country, unpaid most of the time. Your competitors are the paid commercial people from other for profit ICT companies. You will need all free energy/time available in a country to compete them.--SvenAERTS 09:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Some groups with upcoming events on wiki.laptop.org
