What

This working session--called a sprint--will focus on updating an outdated collection of web pages with basic information about the XO laptop and Sugar. The pages are here:

http://www.laptop.org/start

These pages have not been widely promoted or used since the first Give One Get One promotion in 2007.

Why

The XO-1.5 laptop has gone into production and the Sugar Learning Platform has been significantly updated. There is a need to have this collection of web pages updated.

When

Saturday, March 27, 2010 - Sunday, March 28, 2010

Where

Arlington Career Center
816 South Walter Reed Drive
Arlington, VA 22204
