Mailing lists

To chat with people directly, see IRC

OLPC has many mailing lists for participants, contributors, and general discussion about the project. Sometimes they multiply when one isn't watching. See also blogs for a list of OLPC related blogs and feeds.

Starting a List

If you want to start a new mailing list, first consider ways to get started without one. Then create a page here about the list you want to start, with a brief description and a list of interested initial users. Finally, add a link from this page and leave a note for sj or ivan.
