I think its important for new owners of XO laptops and OLPC enthusiasts<br>to discover each other and gain critical mass in their own local<br>communities. Currently, we have to rely on discovering others by<br>accident (some post on some list) or by other proxies such as Linux User
<br>Groups in different cities. Is anyone working on a directory of sorts to<br>group people by geography?<br><br>On a related note, we (SF State University, San Francisco, CA USA) are<br>gathering our campus folk together on an internal list so that we can
<br>organize meetings on campus about OLPC and XOs. We have space and<br>interest. Anyone from San Francisco or the SF Bay Area is welcome to<br>join. Simply drop me a note.<br><br>Sameer<br><br>--<br>Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D
