Laptop demonstrations

XOs are regularly demonstrated or on display at conferences and other events.

If you are going to be at a conference with your XO, and are willing to show it off and let others play with it for a while, please add the event details below. If you are giving a full-fledged demonstration of some number of XOs at an event, please note it below in bold. If you or someone you know is attending or hosting an event and wants to include an XO display [but doesn't have one], please leave details in the second list.

Suggestions for demonstrations

So many conferences, so little time... maybe somebody is 'around' and it could be a good opportunity to show or demo the XO.

• Cátedra UNESCO de Educación a Distancia keeps track of series of events related to open, flexible, virtual or distance learning globally (with some emphasis on spanish) here March, April, May...).
• eLearning Workshops keeps a similar list (or a calendar view)

Suggestion: Wouldn't this list be more useful by having it geographically organized (discussion tab) too? --Xavi 23:33, 3 February 2007 (EST)
