Earth Treasury has no corporate connection with OLPC, the maker of the $100 Laptop. They just let us use their Wiki.--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 02:51, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

This page is a place-holder until Earth Treasury can create its own Web site. [[Silicon Valley Linux User Group]] (SVLUG) has offered space on its server for this site.

===Mission===

The mission of Earth Treasury is

* To piggyback on OLPC's computer program in education, in order to further health, economic opportunity, human rights, and anything else in the way of sustainable development.
* To lobby the US Congress and the various state and territorial legislatures to buy into the OLPC program.
* To support all other national OLPC groups, whether part of OLPC or independent like ourselves.

===Programs===

* Link schools around the world
* Teach children to do business together.
* Teach the genuine free market, not the nonsense in which corporations get to go freely into any country, but people don't.
* Telemedicine
* Demonstrate the XO to anybody who should get involved with OLPC.
* Anyone can participate. We have [[101 Things To Do]].

===Volunteers===
We need some volunteers to take care of various business. [mailto:echerlin@gmail.com Send me an email].

* I'll go and invite some people. Done. I'll go invite some more.--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 00:48, 3 January 2007 (EST)
* We need writers, speakers, publicists, a graphic artist, lobbyists, and others. You can suggest other tasks, particularly if you are volunteering to do them.
* We'll get a mailing list together as soon as there are enough of us to justify it. Done.
* Web site with t-shirts, an Amazon link, and donations through Paypal and other means.
* We need to move from a volunteer association to a non-profit corporation at some point. In process with lawyers.
* We should put on a conference. I have signed on as a board member of [http://www.wireafrica.org/ WIRE AFRICA]. We have a conference in December 2007.
* I'm going to make a page that makes is absolutely brainless to lobby our government officials. Oh wait, I did that. Here it is:
