OlpcMAP/2010Sprint

So where are those almost 2 million One Child per Laptops? After 3 years, in dozens of countries, we challenge the world to put the story of OLPC accomplishment on the map. Photographically, telephonically, viscerally -- the passionate doers of our community movement now have the chance to connect more intimately than ever before. No matter their deployment size, their age, their creed.

Implementer gurus and connected social cartographers & implementers across our global community of One Laptop per Child (http://blog.laptop.org) and http://SugarLabs.org will fly to Boston Dec 27-31 -- to physically map our geo-social fabric of small/medium/large deployments worldwide. In completely new and different ways -- on and around CMU/Nick Doiron's rapidly evolving deployment/adoption/volunteering map:

Just like a Book Sprint (writing an entire book within a week, like http://laptop.org/manual) we'll beautify, rigorize and publish this community product within 5 business days!

We're looking for the very best talent globally to join us, to lay critical seeds Connecting-The-Dots of OLPC/Sugar/ICT4Education around learning, support and content knowledge. Globally uncovering accomplishments unspoken. Starting with one single student's eye-opening social visualization -- that's already powerfully captured our popular imagination, since its alpha-launch in October 2010 at the OLPC San Francisco Community Summit.

Lodging

You need to secure your own housing and travel. Tuesday night shared accommodations should not be a problem!

Volunteers will do their best to match up rich volunteers with poor, just as in October in SF at http://olpcSF.org/summit, to all do our best making sure housing and a few select airfares are covered -- when truly exceptional talent is demonstrated. Please write our public mailing list explaining how you personally can deepen our efforts!
