This page focusses on building communities to support the OLPC project. If you want to help OLPC in another manner the "Getting Involved in OLPC" entry is a good place to start.

To enable the open content revolution, OLPC must not only build and distribute the XO, it must nurture and encourage three groups of people to develop content:

  1. Software Developers
  2. Educators
  3. Artists

These communities may be international or national and have sub-groups by nation or linguistic region. There are some rough ideas on how to stimulate the development of these communities. There should be special emphasis stimulating communities in developing nations.
