One Laptop per Child will be holding an open Health Jam and hackathon |

|||
hosted on the University of Washington campus. |

The focus of this event is to accelerate development on Health-related |

OLPC initiatives - hardware, software, and content - as well as testing |
|||
the existing projects with local health workers. |
|||
To register or to view more information, including how you or your group |

About OLPC |
|||
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit organization created to |
|||
design, manufacture, and distribute laptops that are sufficiently |
|||
inexpensive to provide every child in the world access to knowledge |
|||
and modern forms of education. The rugged, Linux-based, |
|||
mesh-networking-enabled, and power-efficient laptops have begun to be |
|||
deployed to children by schools across the world on the basis of one |
|||
laptop per child. OLPC is based on constructionist theories of learning |
|||
pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay, as well as the |
|||
principles expressed in Nicholas Negroponte's Being Digital. |
|||
About OLPC Health |
|||
The OLPC Health effort is an interdisciplinary group working on public-health related |
|||
projects associated with the XO, including software, hardware, and content. |
|||
Health projects can be a local grassroots undertaking, a student group project, |
|||
a pilot implementation, a global community creation-sprint weekend - we cut |
|||
across geographic, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries to help all |
|||
health-related OLPC work move forward. Some related links |

Curating the Wiki
- Let's study examples such as:
- the Human Interface Guidelines
- VistA Monogrphaph Wiki
- WorldVistA
- HealthJamSeattle
- etc. (Bring your own)
- The Templates that support these examples.
- The MediaWiki Bots that groom them. Up and Down load them, etc.
- Semantic MediaWiki
- C
- Transcluding,
- etc.
I've been been looking at other folks wiki pages, studying how they did things, and putting it all together in my own wiki pages.
But, I still have a lot to learn.
Maybe the Curating the Wiki strand should be part of all Jams, not just HealthJams
Porting Borland Delphi (Pascal) Apps to the XO
Porting Delphi Clients to the XO This is tho
Don't know if enough of my team is going to make it to Seattle.
