RSVP
Please advise of your attendance by introducing yourself on the OLPC-UK mailing list, or by contacting Michael Jordan by email (michael_jordan50@bigpond.com) or telephone (07 8814 64213).
Agenda
The agenda and discussion will be intentionally broad; the goal of this meeting is to gain a stronger understanding of all attendees, what you collectively and individually would like to contribute to the cause and the collective view on what could be achieved by an OLPC organisation in the UK. I have made some adjustments to the original agenda suggestion but welcome any input on points that should be added.
- Opening
- OLPC Update
- Introductions - an opportunity for all attendees to introduce themselves and share their thoughts on OLPC involvement
- OLPC UK - open forum on what the group believes could be achieved by an OLPC UK organisation
- Progress - the UK is lucky to have a number of people already involved in and contributing to the OLPC cause; some of whom will be attending and able to update us on efforts so far
- XO Demonstrations - thank you to a large number of you who have advised you will be bringing an XO; it will be excellent for those that don’t yet own one to gain a stronger understanding of the technology behind the cause
We look forward to seeing you there!
