Who am I?
I have been an OLPC advocate since I first saw the OLPC protoypes and met OLPC staff in person at NECC 2006. I started shortly thereafter contributing to the work on getting the OLPC dev image working on Parallels for MacOS X so I can start working with it myself (and let others do the same). In Fall 2007, after Mel '03 came back to speak on OLPC at IMSA, I became the club sponsor for the IMSA OLPC affiliate and am the in-house advisor for Student Inquiry and Research pursuant to the OLPC project. My current advisees are:
