== Open Community Architecture ==

In a democracy, we are each others' infrastructure. Our geo-social fabric takes inspiration from:<br>

* Dialogue between public and private community spaces<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;http://theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice

* Good Faith Collaboration = people who share a passion to learn, by interacting regularly, and conscientiously
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Reagle/Berkman_Reading_Group

* Creativity = allowing yourself to make mistakes

* ART = knowing which ones to keep

* <i>1 Billion children who are tired of waiting!</i>

== Global MAP SPRINT: Dec 27-31, 2010 in Boston ==

Venue & volunteer-based housing [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2010-October/011900.html details] [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc_boston/2010-November/000627.html to] [http://groups.google.com/group/olpcMAPmakers follow] late November!

Talented social cartographers & implementers from the global community of One Laptop per Child (http://blog.laptop.org) and http://SugarLabs.org will fly to Boston Dec 27-31 -- to physically map our geo-social fabric of small/medium/large deployments worldwide. In completely new and different ways -- on and around CMU/Nick Doiron's rapidly evolving adoption/volunteering map:

http://olpcMAP.net

Just like a Book Sprint (writing an entire book within a week, like http://laptop.org/manual) we'll beautify, rigorize and publish this community product within 5 business days!

We're looking for the very best talent globally to join us, to lay critical seeds Connecting-The-Dots of OLPC/Sugar/ICT4Education around learning/deployment/content knowledge, and Globally! Starting with one single student's eye-opening social visualization -- that has already powerfully captured the popular imagination, since its alpha-launch in October 2010, at the [http://olpcSF.org/summit OLPC San Francisco Community Summit].

=== Attendees ===

Thank you to the organizing volunteers (email beautify@olpcMAP.net) already INvesting so much of their personal/family resources, flying in during 2010's Season of Giving.
