A question was asked on the [[Ask_OLPC_a_Question|question]] page about local user groups for owners of the "get 1" half of the "give 1 get 1" program. This page is a list of known user groups. |

Infrastructure that can be used in forming groups: |
|||
*this Wiki, |
|||
*[[Mailing lists]], |
|||
*[[IRC]], |
|||
*[[EPals]]. |
|||
This isn't an exhaustive list. |
|||
Groups might also [[Run_your_own_jabber_server|set up their own Jabber server]], since there isn't one set up for the owners as a whole, due to scale and cost issues. |

Europe
Germany
Mine arrived today. Great machine, I wished you could buy them through regular channels.
Ireland
I have one now in the South Dublin area. Does anyone else in Ireland have one? Feel like getting geeky in a pub?
Spain
I have one in Mallorca. Is there anybody else here with an XO?
Sweden
I have ordered 2 XO laptops through G1G1. When the laptops arrive to me it will be possible to look and feel them at Stockholm Linux User Group http://stockholm.lug.se/
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...). Vorburger 15:05, 25 November 2007 (EST)

United Kingdom
I have ordered a laptop to be delivered to my home (in Vermont) Hopefully I'll have it and am based in Leeds UK now anyone else getting one?
- Update Still waiting on arrival. In theory it would have been delivered to home on January 15th, but as of the 17th still no laptop. Will update once it finally arrives. Seeing as I am based in Leeds without any means of transportation it looks like I'll only be able to meetup with DanielDrake --Koolkat 07:15, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Two laptops at The Hamilton School in Aberdeen. Anyone else outside of England have an XO? - Clawrie 20:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Mine arrived on Thursday 5 June 2008, after a gruelling 6 month wait - part waiting for OLPC to deliver to the US, and part waiting for my friend in the US to forward it on to me. I live in South Yorkshire and would love to speak to other XO users locally and in the UK. --Dave Lee 18:02, 6 June 2008 (EDT)
