XO Austin
Austin Area Jabber Collaboration Server (Experimental but Functional): opteron.9grid.us.
To setup your XO, open the terminal activity and type:
sugar-control-panel -s jabber opteron.9grid.us
It will tell you how to reset your interface so it'll hook up to the new collaboration server.
There's also a user's list here.
TODO: local content server, wiki, and what not.
1/11/2008 UPDATE: Note new server address (changed from olpc.texas.9grid.us to opteron.9grid.us)
Sat Feb 23rd 10:00am meeting at the Spicewood Springs library ([[1]])?
We had a nice time at the library and worked with both the Mesh Network and the Jabber server. Turns out, you can be on both at the same time.
We discussed GirlStart [[2]] in Austin starting a development effort for the XO and how we might be able to help by lending hardware. Anne Gentle will contact someone on staff at GirlStart to see how we can help.
We wondered aloud whether there will be an XO meetup at SXSW. Whurley is talking about a XO DevCamp at BarCamp Austin but we weren't sure of the interest level or what could be done there. Ideas welcome. See Upcoming Event for BarCamp for more details on BarCamp.
Updated to add: we are getting together at Las Manitas Sunday afternoon around 12:30. RSVP at One Laptop Per Child XO at SxSWi meetup on Upcoming.org
Mikus mentioned a suspend mode and encouraged us to apply for developer's keys.
The kids had yummy cupcakes and some adults had their share as well. Added pictures to the two flickr groups, OLPC and XO photos.

I'd like to get together with Austin XO users again soon. Last time we mentioned meeting at a library or Starbucks a little closer to central. Let me know your ideas and I'll set it up. Thanks! annegentle 10:06, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
