OLPC:Newsroom

This page is for weekly updates from various departments for the purposes of regular public updates, global advocacy, and community coordination. The updates will contribute to something like a new newsletter; the advocacy messages will help us design announcements and prioritize campaigns, and the community coordination is for wiki and blog updates, including more technical or info-geeky detail than would go out in an all-purpose newsletter.
