Welcome! This is the home page for the OLPC Learning Club DC. We had briefly deployed a wiki on a hosted system, but it's better that we build our knowledge base here. We'll be posting information here about future plans as it becomes available.
Latest Announcements
Jabber Server
We have a Jabber Server for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.
Things We Do
XO Family Mesh Meetup
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:
- Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.
- Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.
- Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.
XO Bar Meetups
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.
Other Projects
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.
