We're going to put a FAQ here, a la Support FAQ.

Please start by extracting questions and answers from the minutes linked to from the bottom of Deployment meetings. Insert your FAQ into the appropriate heading (or create a new heading) and ensure that you put your answers as briefly as possible, most likely linking off to another location (such as the Deployment Guide).


Q: Where else can I look for Deployment answers?

A: Here are some similarly useful documents: the Deployment Guide, the Support FAQ and the deprecated Change the World FAQ.


Q: Can I volunteer for a Deployment?

A: OLPC offers student Internships in Peru and Uruguay -- if you are proficient in Spanish, please apply by March 8, 2009.


Q: Where can I find real people to talk to?

A: Join one of our Tuesday Deployment meetings. Do join our mailing lists:

  http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots
  http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang

Ask quick questions anytime over Live Chat here: http://forum.laptop.org/chat -- please give volunteers a few minutes to respond! You might also try to email volunteers for Support: http://support.laptop.org

Finally, volunteering is the best way to meet real people in the OLPC/Sugar deployment community! Please look over both:
