Autumn 2013 at last, to celebrate our 1-year anniversary creating community school servers, and our halfway point to v1.0, we announce a DOUBLEHEAD design & hacking sprints over October and November!

XS(CE) Sprint Part 1: SF Crystallization

It's intensely exciting to see people from So Many countries (confirmed Oct 21-23) in or near San Francisco ("Community Summit") and then also Malaysia ("OLPC 2.0 -- the next journey") a month later! For starters, following http://olpcSF.org/summit (Oct 18-20), and immediately preceding the Internet Archive's great Books in Browsers Summit of Oct 24-25, we will be meeting in downtown San Francisco here:

XS(CE) Sprint Part 2: Malaysia Culmination

Then Nov 18-20 in Malacca, Malaysia brings a powerful new face to the OLPC community movement. This follows the wonderfully inderdisciplinary OLPC Basecamp 2013 (Nov 16-18), a continent-wide 100% community meeting, whose enlivening blog brings to light the breathtaking vitality behind our generation's epic humanitarian commitment.

Full details of the spring will be announced soon in coming weeks, centered around XS(CE) but also much more!

We devotees to digital/progressive learning of all kind can also join us Thursday Nov 14 for the Malaysia school visit, and Friday Nov 15 to get to know the historic community of Malacca itself! Finally, as the summit wraps up Monday Nov 18, the hack sprint itself will begin --- concluding on Wednesday November 20.

Those who join both above events in SF and Malaysia, will Truly Deserve their spots in the OLPC history books, when our full story is eventually written for the ages!
