Welcome

Greetings. . . . .

I want to welcome you to our first initial pilot issue of the OLPC Weekly News. Several weeks in the making... We have assembled a great team of volunteers to help assemble summaries of the vast amount of OLPC information available. The hope is to help keep everyone informed on what's going on, what's new, and what's coming up...

I hope you like it. And if you are excited for future issues, or have something to contribute, please don't hesitate to drop any of our editorial board a note. As we expand and cover more areas, we will also be looking for more volunteers to give us a hand, please contact us if interested.

Here's what this issue contains. . .
