1/25/08 (Proposed agenda)

• discuss getting involved with Repair centers
• helping out with Give Many, Get Many (GMGM)?
• having a "hackathon" (similar to a jam, but hopefully less stressful to set up) at Olin (I want this to happen. A lot. Will be visiting campus the week after and wants to talk to you all about this. Flash conference? Mchua)
• partnering up with IMSA
• doing more projects!
• shameless plug: PyCon is in Chicago this spring, they have student scholarships, and THEY WANT OLPC STUFF TO HAPPEN THERE. Mike Fletcher is already running a Sugar tutorial, see here, and there will probably be open OLPC hacking space throughout. If you're a Pythonista, they'll probably want you. Mchua
• help out Ian with a circuit (this was forwarded to the list earlier by Mel, but nobody has picked it up)
• videotaping XO disassembly (with commentary from different Olin profs, to boot Mchua)
• Yalp as an HFID project
