What is an OLPC Jam?
An OLPC Jam is an creative event designed to encourage (simultaneously) experimentation and innovation in the field participants are Jamming in and to produce open-licence content for the OLPC project in a short amount of time. Experienced, prepared participants work in small teams to collaborate with domain and local experts and produce a concrete product to a pre-specified problem; the creative output of the event is deployed in the field directly after the Jam. It's high-intensity improvisational fun - most participants say they've never created such a productive development experience like it before.
