Thanks for inviting your truest LA edutech gangs -- it's no coincidence 
Los Angeles and Latin America share initials ;)  Making sure everyone 
who wants to jump in to showcase+beautify their hard-fought education 
technology project -- now has that chance, after 3 years.  Or even just 
3 days for new folks!

Following Caryl's pioneering 2009 lead (http://j.mp/erEQQJ, 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Southern_California_OLPC_Projects), everyone 
now has this golden opportunity for Mapmaking Together: bringing 
independent edutech projects onto everybody's community map.  Even if 
only http://twitter.com/SweetXOGrannie herself (Teacher Caryl & secret 
support team AKA husband) could bring these Southern California 
after-school experiments & accomplishments full circle :) Please join us 
Monday evening -- exceptional and diverse efforts appearing here soon!

/PS If *you* want to co-lead one of our weekly mapmaking events or 
schedule your own, to activate STREETS-IS-TALKIN' participation around 
educational technology in any school/city/region -- even if it's not all 
OLPC/Sugar -- definitely please contact me, and we'll give you the tools 
:) holt at laptop.org <mailto:holt at laptop.org>
