Hello! I'm Nikki, and I am working with Jessi to get the OLPC artist's community up and running. What kind of art are you most interested in doing, and what kind of art are you most experienced with (and what do you want to learn?)? Hit my talk page or email me and tell me what you're interested in doing!

Hi! There is lots of Video of the OLPC. But there is no one video I would point to as an introduction for educators. Or for anyone else, but educators seems a good target, as the Educators page is being worked on, as a prelude to trying to attract more educators. Here is sort of what I had imagined: Start a page, or just work here, creating an interesting video snippet (or whatever it's called) list. Hmm, or even actual clips. Take a look at some of the videos. The ones in the recommended section have some good stuff, usually at the beginning. And start pulling together compilation clips of perhaps "kids using xo's", and "folks explaining the motivation and educational approach of olpc". Hmm, though smaller clips could be interesting to, like "kids teaching each other to use the xo". I'm thinking the right thing is the 20% effort that gets 80% of the payoff, rather than polished. Or 10%/50%. There will be a continuing stream of new video, so it would be great to set things up so it is easy to say "oooh, this morning there's an awesome new clip of kids teaching each other how to use the xo. Let's add it in, or swap it in for our current one." So I guess two objectives. A little something for educators. And the start of a general resource for creating such video segments. I'm usually on irc #olpc-content. I'd love to hear your thoughts. MitchellNCharity 09:38, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

Re xo usage in the Brazil clips, note the trial-1 schools had/have rather rudimentary old versions of the software. Ie, most of the collaboration stuff wasn't working yet. It's just being finished up now for trial-2. MitchellNCharity 17:42, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
