[Grassroots-l] Supporting your cause and kids

[Seth Woodworth]

Nice to meet you Jim,

There are a few different people working on printed materials that should be
ready soon.  The official team is still working very very hard to get the XO
laptop out the door.  But we would love to have more people doing grassroots
for us!  You'll be the among the first to know via this list when the
materials are finished.

But in the meantime we would love to have your help in producing content.
Second Story sounds particularly interesting.  Would you be interested in
releasing some of the materials from that project into a license that we
could use?  You wouldn't need to do any formatting work, we could take care
of that end.  We could really use some classwork on Creative Writing for the
OLPC.

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

Seth Woodworth
