ILXO/workshops

This is still very much a work in progress.

What are we going to need to get this underway?

• assume guests have their own laptops; will indicate if bringing on to a workshop is super useful.

• Intro to the XO / program / overview
• Basic repairs
  • Sufficient number of screwdrivers
  • to what extent are we having people do this to working XOs? Their own?
• Intro to wiki (communication methods - also IRC, forums, lists...)
• How to start a grassroots group
• How to run a Jam
