Hey all,

Christoph from OLPC Austria (www.olpc.at) speaking here. Aaron (olpc.lo-res.org, also OLPC Austria) and me will also be attending the meeting on the 18th! Originally we had only planned to go to Cambridge/Boston for some discussions with OLPC but thanks to the kind invitation by a certain Wayan Vota we’re now also going to make it to DC!

As everyone else I’m very excited about the whole event and looking forward to meeting all of you.

BTW, Bryan, trust me, you won’t be only one having a beer (or two)!

Andrew, I was going to try to make it to that event, but too much is going on. Plus as far as donating, I contributed a wad by doing G2G2 for home and another G2G2 for my team at the office. Have fun with the desktop emulation.

I’ve just downloaded the OLPC XO image on my Mac and have been playing around with it … certainly a little bit of a learning curve. Looking forward to getting involved … I certainly want to be in a position to start helping kids and teachers to use the laptop … let me know if you have any pointers on getting started. Thanks

Relax everyone. I am looking to reserve the entire top floor of Wonderland - it will be filled with the sounds of OLPC LC/DC only. They also have open wifi and there will be multiple recordings of all the fun.

I’ll check later today, but I believe that Wonderland is all ages and the Columbia Heights neighbourhood is very welcoming - I live nearby.

Wayan, do you think we could do the meeting at some place more audio and video friendly, like your house? Also, I will be tempted to over-indulge w/ the wondrous dark beers of Wonderland that I have been deprived of in Nepal.

I find the Wonderland Ballroom to be a fairly friendly place but I do not recall if it is only 21 and over. I will be in the DC area for over two weeks and would be happy to converse w/ anyone interested in OLPC implementations, particularly in poor nations like Nepal (where I am at this moment).
