Welcome to the wiki!

Welcome to the One Laptop per Child wiki. Please make yourself at home; read through the Table of Contents and FAQ, and take a look around. If you need a general wiki-tutorial, Wikieducator has some excellent ones.

Some possible pages of interest:

• Pictures
• Ask OLPC a Question
• OS images for emulation
• Rollout and community building ideas

Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions or need help finding your way around.

Cheers, Sj

Got your message, Lauren - would love to talk. I'll be back in Cambridge starting June 6 so we should have plenty of time to meet each other. I'm catching up on a work backlog (just graduated from college) so I might be alternately quiet and spasming out content for the next few days, but drop me a line at mel at mel chua dot com (no spaces) and we can get to know each other - I'll be updating my project list soon but I'm very interested in hearing about yours, especially the howto guides, content submission, education volunteer ops, and volunteer organizing. --Mel
