OLPCsb Outreach

Networking

Purpose: We want to find other groups and organizations in which we may collaborate with on any meaningful level. This includes for research, software development, general tips, etc.

Project 1: Find some contacts for our engineers to ask advice from. We could use help in "bundling" the software for the XO (packaging a bunch of coding into a .xo file). If you don't get the technical aspects, don't worry. Point is, we're looking for people who have experience making software for the XO, people who could help us in our efforts. So, lets find some possible contacts for our engineers to contact. (2/26/10)

The OLPC Wiki -The wiki you are on right now. Difficult to navigate and difficult to find things on, but this is important nonetheless as much of OLPC is on it.

University program
-This link goes to this wiki's university section, which lists other programs going on in universities around the world (though mainly USA I think).

[www.sugarlabs.org] -A website dedicated to the development of applications for the XO. This includes programming all the way up to being the place to download the final product.

www.olpcnews.com
-Many groups post articles here, so you may find some mutually useful connections here.

[www.sa.ucsb.edu/orgs/] -Other campus groups here at UCSB. Some collaborations may be possible.

Public Relations

Project 1:

www.olpcnews.com
-This website is a great resource for new info, and a key location to submit articles regarding OLPC endeavors.

www.dailynexus.com
-Our local UCSB newspaper.

We also have the contact information for a writer at www.freesoftware.com, and they have expressed interest us writing an article for them. If we go this route, I'll email you the info.
