Favorite Accomplishments
Tell us about the OLPC-relevant accomplishment you are most proud of. This does not have to explicitly be an OLPC-related activity, but should be something that would be valuable for other participants at the bootcamp to hear about and learn from.
If your answer to the above was not an OLPC-related activity, list a few OLPC-related activities you have been involved with.
- Involved in the Olin chapter, focused mainly on the repair center work
- Involved in creation of simple repair manuals
- Working with ILXO this summer
Bootcamp Motivations
Why do you want to come to the bootcamp?
I'm curious how communities are built - what draws people in, what keeps them coming back, and how a functional structure is put into place. (My mind has a rather sociological bent, at times). I'll be working with ILXO this summer - the lessons I can take away from the bootcamp are directly relevant to the project. Having some working knowledge before kicking things off in Chicago will certainly make progress more efficient, not to mention effective.
What can you contribute to the bootcamp?
I'm still very much a beginner - however, I come with an open mind, I promise! Nonetheless, I can help demonstrate basic disassembly and repairs, and I'd be happy to take up some documentation duties when they appear.
How will you support grassroots initiatives after the bootcamp? (A short proposal would be good here.)
(Optional) Will you need aid (housing, food, transportation, etc.) to attend?
Food would be nice, but it's not essential.
