Eugene XO User Group/Introductions

Introduce yourself

Say something about your interests in the XO and in meeting with locals who have one.

Jane Krauss, Eugene denizen of 20 years. Educator in local schools and curriculum writer/program developer for education concerns ranging from Intel, ISTE, Girl Scouts USA, National Center for Women & Information Technology. I'm interested in the potential of the XO for leveling the playing field between the advantaged and not-so-lucky. I want to meet with others to understand the technology and think about the educational implications for kids and for the families into whose homes these computers go.

Shikha Ghosh Gottfried, Corvallis. Software Engineer, have been at HP for 11 years, leaving in Jan. for something different... maybe XO development will be a calling? Bought one for my daughters and b/c it's a great concept. I've been thinking about how to use my software skills for good rather than evil ;) and where I can make more of a difference. I think good software should help solve problems and not get in the way. I'm curious to hear how others are using their XOs and what sorts of things they're discovering.
