We're looking for volunteers to help us with a number of things for the project, from coding to outreach to open content development and curation for the [[Library]].

Please help us figure out what to demo on the laptops during [http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimania], and how. We will have a number of them around, so mesh network stuff would be excellent to show off. |

Listed in order of priority. |

As of build 536, laptops should automatically join a MESH network (without internet connectivity, however). Once the laptop is powered up, it takes a few minutes to configure itself, but eventually olpcA and olpcB should be able to see eachother. |

Generic MESH application sharing instructions: |
|||
Have two laptops connected to MESH. Start the application on olpcA, and share it by changing the "share with:" drop down in the top right corner from private to my neighborhood. Shortly after, olpcB should be able to see the write application shared from the neighborhood view. |
|||
* Connect4 - This game works over MESH, however scores aren't recorded or kept. |
|||
* Write - This application works over MESH. Users can simultaneously edit the same document. |

* Chat - Works over MESH. |

* what games can we play to demo this? memorize? |

* Lincoln's docs on tubes in pygame |

Welcome, Wikimaniacs!
You may have noticed tiny green laptops sprouting up around the Open Space in room 319. Yes, those are the OLPC XO laptops, and yes, you can play with them - please play with them!
We're looking for volunteers to help us with a number of things for the project, from coding to outreach to open content development and curation for the Library. The main Participate page has a few ways to get started; there are also some Wikimania-specific activities going on, and SJ Klein and Mel Chua are running around the conference in general - come find us!
