(Paypal donations are via User:CScott's tiny web business, Ahuas Emigre Press; they take 2-3% off the top of your donation, email cscott at cscott.net if you'd prefer to send a check)

OLPC's travel budget for XOcamp 2 fell through, and they can't afford to get everyone to the XO camp who should be there. We need your help to get key developers from Germany, Czech Republic, Italy and South Africa to Boston. Christoph wrote an excellent OLPCnews story on the situation.

This page will track the status of the fundraising efforts. I'll list all the developers below who have made proposals for the XOcamp but can't attend, and as they add it, the cost of getting them to Boston. We'll also need volunteers to host them in your homes when they get to Boston; please add your name to the #Housing section below to volunteer.

Currently we have:

  • $1150 pledged (2 developers)
  • 2 housing spots
