Guide

For now, the procedure is simple: Add your information to the wiki page (get a wiki.laptop.org account if you don't have one already), and contact anyone who's in the other category that might be able to help you. Be sure that your personal wiki page contains sufficient contact information.

Example:

Name: [User: Sarah_Elkins]

  • Location: Washington DC area
  • Offering Loan or Gift: Loan
  • Willing to Ship: No
  • Comments: This is an example!

Disclaimer

This registry was inspired by a topic on the OLPC News forum, [1]. Some people are willing to pass on their XOs to others, either as a gift or a loan. At present, the registry is simply intended as a way for people to identify themselves as needing or offering XOs. Neither OLPC, OLPC News, AuntiMame nor Sarah Elkins are responsible for any miscommunications.

Improve This Page!

Maybe you know of a good higher-level place to present this exchange registry (leave a link to the better location). Or you may have another idea to improve this page. Go ahead! This page has a history, so if you make a mistake, it's not fatal. Note, instructions for table creation are at [2], but table editing might be trickier for wiki newbies; revisit table question if this page gets a lot of names added?
