In A Nutshell

Grassroots Jam<br\> Where: New York, NY - Manhattan Neighborhood Network headquarters (directions)<br\> When: June 14-15, 2008<br\>

Introduction

We're running a Jam in NYC for the "final exam" of the Grassroots bootcamp on June 14-15 in Manhattan, NYC, USA.

We will focus on development/deployment of projects from the host organzation that involve software (or hardware) that could work on/with the XO, or projects/deployment that could involve the use of XOs. Secondarily, we will meet with and build connections to NYC-area grassroots groups.

What is a Jam?

An OLPC Jam is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a few days. By the end of the Jam, you'll have something finished to test with local schoolchildren (who serve as judges for the event). It's a great way to get started developing for OLPC.

I want to participate!

Jams are collaboratively organized events, so the best way to get started is to just dive in and introduce yourself. Participating in this Jam? Have ideas? Want to coordinate rides, teams, projects, or talk about the Jam? Edit the Jam Talk Page!
