To Do
Some of THE most important spatial media we need to welcome, are our established geo-communities:
http://groups.laptop.org http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Local_Labs http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair_center_locations http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Laptop_Lending_Libraries http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE#Events http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Tentative_POSSEs
EG. What attractive icon(s) should represent great local initiatives??
http://EscueLab.org (Lima, Peru) http://olpcLearningClub.org (Washington DC,, larger 427 × 306 pixel JPEG) http://olpcSF.org http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Southern_California_OLPC_Projects (incl Google Map of local prjcts!) http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc_boston http://olpc.at (OLPC Austria) http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_NYC http://olpc-france.org http://olpcOceania.blogspot.com http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_New_Zealand (Uruguay's many strong groups have brilliant logos already; showcase these on our main page to spark others??) Etc!!
