Awesome we've a dozen+ truly wonderful RSVPs for Saturday's Clinic:
coming from as far away as 7hrs down the road in Rochester NY (go
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://foss.rit.edu/blog">http://foss.rit.edu/blog</a> !), New Jersey, and even some exotic land
called CaliFilippines, but can you guess the Furthest?? (*)<br>
<br>
OLPC's VP of Hardware Engineering is working with me to find some
really cool door prizes as a result, so no this ain't Cuba where even
BIC lighters are repaired, but nor did we imagine how successful this
skillbuilding/videomaking event (helping Palestinian kids & beyond)
would become...<i>welcome All Olin College students :)</i><br>
<br>
And with particular apologies to those atoning as part of Yom Kippur
who cannot participate this Saturday, I dearly hope all can participate
online later -- empowering overlooked+marginalized kids in all
countries -- with our growing library of How-To-Vids that I'd *love*
for someone to step forward and begin curating, organizing the best
here just like Wikipedia does?<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://queakland.org/about/people/bio.jsp?id=60">http://queakland.org/about/people/bio.jsp?id=60</a> we actually have
several great volunteers from Kazakhstan arriving; wonderful folks
