XO Austin/Library

The Austin Laptop Lending Library

How do I apply?

in person

This happens mostly at XO Austin meetings or XOware meetings. You may apply for an XOware meeting, please follow that link.

Policies

Standard loans will be of a month each. One-week loans might be possible for groups.

A policy for possible renewals will be drafted later.

One major snag right now is to assure safe return of laptops that have been lent. Policies to reduce risks and cover possible damages needs to be established.

Goals

• kids will be able to explore and use the laptops. They are encouraged to report on their experience.
• grownups get an opportunity for an initial "get-acquainted" phase. You may then move on to deeper commitment with development projects as part of the Contributor program.
• The existence of the Library also will allow many other people to become more in tune with the OLPC possibilities, encouraging donors and advocates.

  Every user is encouraged to become connected with OLPC initiatives.

Help Coordinate!

Initially Yamaplos (Yama Ploskonka) will run this initiative, but the more the merrier!
