XS Community Edition/6.0/Sprint

From OLPC
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Toronto Summit/Sprint Oct 9-12th, 2015, hopefully co-hosted with OLPC Canada:

The core focus will be Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB), specifically evolving the highest quality offline education resources, into much wider global adoption, building off XSCE 6.0.

Don't forget your passport, but US volunteers can sometimes save a lot of money flying into Buffalo, if you align days/times with others flying in similar times -- if someone from Toronto is available to drive several hours to pick you up and drop you off!

  • Friday Oct 9th - Dinner for Early Arrivals!
    • 6PM @ Dim Sum King, 421 Dundas St W

    • 1-5PM E-Teams Split for Coming Year's Agenda-Setting, optional 3PM trip to High Park What content are we truly missing? Medical? Environmental? Languages? What McGyver or Bill Nye science programs might be freely distributed in which countries, to spark legit in-country maker movements?
    • 6PM Turkey Dinner with OLPC Canada's greatest people we hope!
  • Sunday Oct 11th - Road Map XSCE 7.0 beyond imminent XSCE 6.0, with increasing OpenStreetMap involvement! (How can we integrate BERNIE? What's the true potential of "online goes offline" customizable grassroots content?)
