You can sign my PledgeBank pledge to write a book about the OLPC program and the XO laptop. The pledge isn't publicly visible yet, so use the link above.

Earth Treasury (temporarily OLPC4USA) has no corporate connection with OLPC, the maker of the $100 Laptop. They just let us use their Wiki.

The mission of Earth Treasury is

  • To piggyback on OLPC's computer program in education, in order to further health, economic opportunity, human rights, and anything else in the way of sustainable development.
  • To lobby the US Congress and the various state and territorial legislatures to buy into the OLPC program.
  • To support all other national OLPC groups, whether part of OLPC or independent like ourselves.

We need some volunteers to take care of various business. Send me an email.

  • I'll go and invite some people. Done. I'll go invite some more.--Mokurai 00:48, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • We need writers, speakers, publicists, a graphic artist, lobbyists, and others. You can suggest other tasks, particularly if you are volunteering to do them.
  • We'll get a mailing list together as soon as there are enough of us to justify it.
  • Web site with t-shirts, an Amazon link, and donations through Paypal and other means.
  • We need to move from a volunteer association to a non-profit corporation at some point.
  • We should put on a conference. I have signed on as a board member of WIRE AFRICA. We have a conference in April.
  • I'm going to make a page that makes is absolutely brainless to lobby our government officials. Oh wait, I did that. Here it is:

OLPC4USAlobbying. Won't someone please help tidy it up a smidge? --Mrknuffke 13:58, 21 January 2007 (EST)

OLPC says that we can use the OLPC Wiki for our business. Please put the following category link on any page that is specific to Earth Treasury.
