Mike Fletcher is the Developer Relations contact for the project. Sort of a combination of a Human Resources recruiter and a programmer responsible for trying to identify and solve impediments to the external developers on the project.

He blogs about his work on the project quite frequently, speaks at various conferences and Universities to try to attract new developers, organises Toronto area OLPC Developer meetups, and generally tries to excite people about the project enough to get them to work on it.

An interview about his involvement with the project is available from CityTV.

Email or blog comments are the best way to reach Mike. He's occasionally on the #olpc and #sugar IRC channels as vrplumber on his allotted OLPC days.
