<tt>The engineers at OLPC are busy building an educational experience for the
</tt><tt>kids of the world. They are basing their excellent work on Fedora.
</tt><tt>Their time is stretched perilously thin. Every hour an overworked OLPC
</tt><tt>engineer spends doing Fedora work is an hour they could be spending doing
</tt><tt>something else. We in the Fedora community can therefore have a huge,
</tt><tt>direct, and immediate impact on the success of the OLPC project.
</tt><tt>Thus, I am proud to announce the formation of the Fedora OLPC Special
</tt><tt>Interest Group. Our mission: to provide the OLPC project with a strong,
</tt><tt>sustainable, scalable, community-driven base platform for innovation.
</tt><pre style="margin: 0em;">Immediate Goals:<br><br></pre><tt>1. To identify and take responsible ownership of as many OLPC base
</tt><tt>packages as possible.
</tt><tt>2. To maintain an excellent Sugar environment for Fedora, including a
</tt><tt>dedicated Sugar spin.
</tt><tt>3. To identify useful opportunities for collaboration (infrastructure,
</tt><tt>localization, etc.)
</tt><tt>We should convene our first meeting as soon as possible. If you are
</tt><tt>interested in participating, please join the Fedora OLPC mailing list here
</tt><tt>and introduce yourself:
