Support meetings

  This page is part of the OLPC Support Gang.   [ Request Tracker's Frequently Mentioned | Weekly meetings ]

Support Gang meetings occur every Sunday 4PM, Eastern Time. The guest speaker begins 4:10pm and call-in discussion follows. We've had over 50 great meetings since we began late Dec 2007 -- join us as I'm sorry we often don't always have time to publish minutes!

If you want to join and/or become a Community Support Volunteer, contact Adam Holt right here!
