== Background ==
[[OLPC]] is an [[educators|education]] project for children, building tools for stimulating children's creativity, starting with a children's [[xo|laptop]], a child-friendly [[sugar|desktop interface]], and communities of learning and creation dedicated to children's education around the world.

=== How can I get involved? ===

'''Who works on OLPC?'''

Designers, hardware manufacturers, firmware developers (Men Of FORTH), Linux kernel and systems developers, activity developers (esp python, javascript, actionscript, C), database and interface designers, localization fanatics, game developers, authors, translators, artists, musicians, media encoding experts...


'''Where does everyone hang out?'''
Developers primarily hang out on a few [[IRC]] channels : <tt>#sugar</tt> for activity and interface development, <tt>#olpc</tt> for general discussion and OS/kernel hacking, <tt>#olpc-content</tt> for content and library development and localization.

Community members have a few other channels : <tt>#olpc-es</tt> for spanish-language discussion, and low-traffic channels for specific pilots and countries (peru, brasil).

The OLPC wiki has a lot of means of knowing how and why to do things related to the xo.
