Welcome, Wikimaniacs!

You may have noticed tiny green laptops sprouting up around the Open Space in room 319. Yes, those are the OLPC XO laptops, and yes, you can play with them - please play with them!

We're looking for volunteers to help us with a number of things for the project, from coding to outreach to open content development and curation for the Library. The main Participate page has a few ways to get started; there are also some Wikimania-specific activities going on, and SJ Klein and Mel Chua are running around the conference in general - come find us!

This page is under construction; we're adding to it throughout the event.
