I'm Brian Jordan, an intern at One Laptop per Child (formerly the MIT media lab's $100 laptop project), a non-profit developing a low-cost rugged laptop for developing nations. August 29-31, I am (as a community member) running a physics game jam, where for 48 hours teams of 2-4 will make physics activities for the "XO" laptop (and our open source operating system). Jam info: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Physics_Jam Slashdot announcement: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/18/2258228 Signup page: http://olpcphysics.eventbrite.com I am wondering if ____ might be interested in donating any XXXXXs for us to use during the jam and then to give away as a prize for the YYYYY. If it's unreasonable to ship anything out that quickly -- would ____ then be interested in mailing a XXXXX to the winners? Warm regards, Brian Jordan
Game dev companies
(please forward to any possibly interested developers, artists, musicians, teachers, kids or volunteers at ____!) I'm Brian Jordan, an intern at One Laptop per Child (formerly the MIT media lab's $100 laptop project), a non-profit developing a low-cost rugged laptop for developing nations. On August 29-31 at OLPC's offices in Cambridge MA, I am (as a community member) running a physics game jam, where for 48 hours teams of 2-4 will make physics games and activities for the XO laptop (and our open source operating system). I am wondering if your company might be interested in sending a team! We will be holding sessions on developing for the XO, and from my experience at an OLPC game jam last year, it's possible to create a game during 48 hours without having known a scrap of python!

Even if we can't get it to 1CC before August 29 (next Friday), it'd still be cool if we could have a copy sent to a winning team. Warm regards, Brian Jordan
