== Past events ==
XOs are regularly demonstrated or on display at conferences and other events.


Events, conferences and roadshows that somehow may involve OLPC can happen at any time. The following is a list of upcoming and past events that are, in some way, related to OLPC and its goals. The community is encouraged to go to these events with their XOs and take part in any way they like.
: To see the XO in action, consider attending one of these events.
: To help the world learn about the XO by bringing your XO, contact the person listed for a given event
: If you have an event, meeting, convention or other gathering of XO enthusiasts and those who want to learn more, please list your event.


If you are planning substantial presence at any of these events, want to share more information and/or say who in the OLPC community is attending, feel free to create a page, categorize it (as one of [[:Category:Events|Events]], [[:Category:Jam|Jam]], [[:Category:Presentations|Presentations]], etc.) and link it from here.
If you are going to be at a conference with your XO, and are willing to show it off and let others play with it for a while, please add the event details below. If you are giving a full-fledged demonstration of some number of XOs at an event, please note it below in bold. If you or someone you know is attending or hosting an event and wants to include an XO display [but doesn't have one], please leave details in the second list.

Feel free to include larger events such as Linux World or Unicode, whether or not OLPC already has a scheduled presence there (if not, you can help organize one; if so, you're welcome to join).

;December 26-29 : 25C3, Berlin, Germany.
Here are a couple of introductory presentations that you may find useful. Note that you can give presentations effectively in [[Etoys]], including an olpc-style toolbar; and that you can use [[remote display]] to present directly from your XO. In Etoys, you can import a standard powerpoint or open office slidestack into [[Etoys]]. You can also create a presentation from scratch in Etoys, including both static text and images (as with other presentation software), scripts and moving objects, and other (programmable) Etoys components.
