This page is for weekly updates from various departments for the purposes of regular public updates, global advocacy, and community coordination. The updates will contribute to something like a new newsletter; the advocacy messages will help us design announcements and prioritize campaigns, and the community coordination is for wiki and blog updates, including more technical or info-geeky detail than would go out in an all-purpose newsletter.


== Regular updates ==
Updates from various parts of the OLPC community are always welcome! If you are working on a local project, a global barnraising, campus advocacy or school coordination, please let us know how you are doing.


These updates will be filtered into regular compilations like the [http://laptop.org/en/news visual newsletter], and will help us design public announcements and prioritize campaigns. If you have a longer story to share, you are welcome to draft it here and post it as a guest contributor on the OLPC blog. More technical or info-geeky detail than would go out in the newsletter is well loved by those who have been in the trenches.
