What is a Jam?

An OLPC Jam is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a few days. By the end of the Jam, you'll have something finished to test with local schoolchildren (who serve as judges for the event). It's a great way to get started developing for OLPC.

I want to participate!

Jams are collaboratively organized events, so the best way to get started is to just dive in and introduce yourself. Participating in this Jam? Have ideas? Want to coordinate rides, teams, projects, or talk about the Jam? Edit the [[Talk:{{{jamtitle}}}|Jam Talk Page]]!

Usage

Copy-paste the below code into your wiki page, filling in appropriate details. You'll have to go in and create each of the subpages at the top (Budget, Sponsors, etc.) yourself, and it's recommended that you add your own content after the default template. See Game Jam Boston June 2007 for an example of usage.

{{Jam
 | headergraphic   = <!-- Banner at top of page; you'll need to upload the file to the wiki. file name.ext (sans [[Image:file name.ext]] -->
 | jamtitle        = <!-- Title of the Jam. Typically TypeJam_LocationMonthYear, as in GameJam_BostonJune2007. -->
 | location        = <!-- Location/address of the Jam -->
 | date            = <!-- Date of the Jam -->
 | goal_short      = <!-- One-sentence description of Jam goal/challenge/objective-->
}}
