Community media: Difference between revisions

From OLPC

Latest revision as of 00:03, 17 November 2008

Current media campaigns : tell people about OLPC, talk or present about current programs in other countries, talk about our G1G1 giving program. In person, in mass or on the internet. Some 90% of people in the US don't know about g1g1, and aren't sure that OLPC is in mass production. Let them know change is already underway, help them get involved and realize their own dreams.

Media

There are a variety of resources for those who want to create or recreate their own media for the upcoming event. Many communities including flickr and OLPC SF have created amazing media that is available under a free license. Media is also available on this wiki.

Pull together available resources for OLPC media in one place and let people create more awesomeness from it.
Set up a link collection to resource pools, seed a torrent for a media pack of sources with attribution/license details
Torrent seeding : There are 8gb of freely-licensed Sound samples available for use with XOs and other tools. There are tons of great sounds contained therein, but the existing seeders are usually offline; this needs reseeding to spread the message to other sound enthusiasts.

G1G1 2008

This year's G1G1 giving program is incredibly important to the community and to OLPC itself. Last year we received over 80,000 donations which have helped seed deployments in Mongolia, Haiti, and Rwanda. This year we can do better, and you can help bring laptops to even more kids.

Groups

Museums

Museums, as well as associated organizations such as Zoos & Aquariums and Science Centers could be valuable partners in spreading the word about the XO, G1G1 & expanding the community of contributors. Many educators in the museum world subscribe to the constructivist learning model that OLPC does http://laptop.org/children/. Constructivist learning is important in informal learning environments, and George Hein from Lesley University writing about its importance in the museum world.

-How?  The simple answer is to ''tell people about OLPC'', and about our giving program!  In person, in mass or on the internet.  Together we can reach a lot of people who still don't know about our efforts at all; and can help some of them realize their own dreams.
