Infrastructure that can be used in forming groups:
*this Wiki,

: Thanks, Mark. Here's a link to our [[Eugene XO User Group | Eugene XO Users Workspace]].

== Seattle, Washington - SeaXO User Group ==
An XO user group is being formed in Seattle, Washington.

Check http://www.SeaXO.com for the latest information. As we're all waiting for our XO computers, there's not very much to announce just yet. Certainly, a meetup and a chance to try out the Mesh network capabilities will be high on everybody's list. In the next few weeks more will be added to the site.

Meanwhile if you'd like to receive any announcement and meeting information, email your contact information and interest to mailto:SeattleXO@gmail.com , or go to the SeaXO.com contact page[http://www.seaxo.com/page1/page1.php].

== Kaohsiung, Taiwan ==
A XO user group is starting at Games Cafe in Kaohsiung on Saturday afternoons. We're only on emulators now, but hopefully will be getting the real thing soon. Contact Tobey (at) Playgames (dot) tw for more info.

= Europe =

== Switzerland ==

Has anybody else in Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe ordered an XO through "Give 1 Get 1" (through a friend in 'North America', obviously...) ? Leave a note here to network (and to discuss how to advance this with our ministery of education...). [[User:Vorburger|Vorburger]] 15:05, 25 November 2007 (EST)
