[OLPC-Games] Joining XO laptop games dev

[Samuel Klein]

Allen, it's great to hear from you.  We should get back into our biweekly 
phone meetings; perhaps two sundays from now we can have another call 
about the status of games on the XO; after the latest swath of game jams 
and other development.

For starters, you should join the games mailing list (copied here), make a 
wiki account for yourself, and start writing about your game ideas.  You 
may want to make time over the coming weekend to be available during
the CMU game jam and to jam with them remotely...

Cheers,
SJ
