A late-night braindump of some of the things we could/should be discussing this week... ChristophD 03:42, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

The biggest challenge for both OLPC and olpc grassroot organizations is communication.

Other than that there are 4 big themes within the olpc efforts at the moment:

community engagement: e.g. event organization, outreach to universities, schools
learning: e.g. content creation
deployment: e.g. logistics
(un-)networking: e.g. caching

Grassroot and similar organizations can actively contribute in all of these areas.

community ambassador
financial support for grassroots: e.g. travel scholarships
global grassroots conference
better collaboration and communication among grassroots
a million other things... ;-)
repair center infrastructures
information flow should be bidirectional - how can grassroots groups better tell each other and olpc what they are doing?
