Media

The BBC has produced some of the best media coverage in the history of the organisation, although it is a bit outdated in the present day.

The Racepoint Group, one of OLPC's media partners in the US, has a UK office with a group who assist OLPC by generating media attention in the UK.


Members

Please list your name and location if you would be interested in participating in UK OLPC activities. Please ensure that there is some obvious way of contacting you (e.g. put your email address on your user page, and link to it).

Please also list what you can offer to the community. Offers of help from those who can offer resources critical to UK community formation (e.g. venues for events, sponsorship, media contacts, etc) are especially appreciated.

Finally, please sign up to the mailing list (details above) so that you will receive information on any developments.

  • Repair Centre
  • Media outreach
  • London pilot
  • Working with government for OLPC adoption in the UK education system
  • Formation of a non-profit/charity organisational structure
  • XO demonstrations to potential community members
  • Make a logo and website for the group
  • Link people/organisations who want to Give Many, to increase scope of UK-backed deployments in other parts of the world
  • Create corporate support programme. Provide companies with opportunities to be Corporate supporters of OLPC UK and participation in sponsorship. Have various sponsorship bands: silver, bronze, gold, etc.
  • Target XO deployment to the most poorest and deprived parts of UK.
  • Form partnerships with like-minded organisations, such as the EWB UK.
  • Appoint a famous person to be an Ambassador for OLPC UK.
