I'm Brian Jordan, an intern at One Laptop per Child (formerly the MIT media lab's $100 laptop project), a non-profit developing a low-cost rugged laptop for developing nations.
August 29-31, I am (as a community member) running a physics game jam, where for 48 hours teams of 2-4 will make physics activities for the "XO" laptop (and our open source operating system).

I am wondering if ____ might be interested in donating any XXXXXs for us to use during the jam and then to give away as a prize for the YYYYY.
If it's unreasonable to ship anything out that quickly -- would ____ then be interested in mailing a XXXXX to the winners?
Warm regards,

On August 29-31 at OLPC's offices in Cambridge MA, I am (as a community member) running a physics game jam, where for 48 hours teams of 2-4 will make physics games and activities for the XO laptop (and our open source operating system).
I am wondering if your company might be interested in sending a team! We will be holding sessions on developing for the XO, and from my experience at an OLPC game jam last year, it's possible to create a game during 48 hours without having known a scrap of python!

Also, would ____ be interested in donating a copy of ____ as a game jam prize? Even if we can't get it to 1CC before August 29 (next Friday), it'd still be cool if we could have a copy sent to a winning team.
Warm regards,

Can you forward this on to anyone you know around the Boston area who might be interested? We're looking for developers, artists, musicians, teachers and any enthusiastic volunteers. It should be a lot of fun, and we'll come out of it with a few cool games for the XO laptop.
Thanks
Brian
