chapters committee
An OLPC chapters committee is being formed to respond to chapter formation requests, and to help new chapters get started around the world.
Members will be appointed to the committee from the community; details on committee structure is not yet defined. The committee's work will generally be done publicly on this wiki, and in regular open meetings.
Questions
- How do I become a chapter?
- First you will need to incorporate a group to pursue OLPC's mission in your country or region. See OLPC chapters for a three-step process.
- Can there be multiple chapters for one region?
- In general, this is not approved of. Chapters should serve to represent the efforts of all people in a region, not those of the founding members. If you have very specific ideas about a subset of OLPC's goals and want to pursue those, it is better to set up a non-profit whose name indicates that difference.
- My group is working on constructionist education in the classroom. Should we become a chapter?
- Becoming a chapter is a somewhat detailed process, requiring time and commitment to OLPC's goals, and to representing and supporting the OLPC community in a region. If you are a small group or just getting started, you don't need to wait on formal recognition for anyone; your group is welcome to the support and visibility we provide all community efforts, and can easily become a Friend of OLPC to present your work at events or festivals.
