I have 2 XO-1 laptops from G1G1, and am a member of the OLPC Learning Club - DC (http://www.olpclearningclub.org/). I co-presented on the XO (I talked about views, Activities, the UI, and the Journal) to the Northern Virginia Linux User Group (http://www.novalug.com/). I have a technical blog (http://configures.sarahelkins.org/), with entries about OLPC, links to my resume, my tags, and more.
OLPC at Penguicon 2008
OLPC was covered/featured at a couple of different events at Penguicon (Troy, Michigan): OLPC At Penguicon 2008.
XO Exchange Registry
The XO Exchange Registry was prompted by discussion at [1]

Old Setup
Build: 650
Favorite Activities Added: Opera, Moon, Speak, Star Chart
Non-Sugar Software: x11vnc
Modifications:
- Fixed system clock
- Disabled hot corners
- Fixed Chat scroll bug
- Installed x11vnc, Opera
- Changed the Jabber server to xochat.org
Fixed system clock
Mine came with the correct time zone, but the clock was off. I set it to the NIST clock and sync'd the hardware clock. Saved link to how to do this in [2]
Disabled Hot Corners
There's at least one thing about the standard Sugar interface which most users want to change. This is also known as the frame-shrink fix, and other names.
This requires just commenting out two lines in /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/frame/eventarea.py (as root, in Terminal):
def _create_invisible(self, x, y, width, height): invisible = gtk.Invisible() # invisible.connect('enter-notify-event', self._enter_notify_cb) # invisible.connect('leave-notify-event', self._leave_notify_cb)
Fixed Chat scroll bug
Saved how to do this somewhere in [http://www.connotea.org/user/selkins/tag/OLPC+how-to/
Installed x11vnc (for projector workaround)
Remote_Display (to display presentation on a projector via another Linux laptop with a data port)
