Dear olpcers,<br><br>Two quick reminders: Francesca Slade is hosting our second [weekly] Open Jam today, from 2 to 6pm EST, at 1CC -- working on whatever open OLPC projects people have in mind. Please bring ideas, works in progress, and testers of all ages and sizes.<br>
<br>We will be clearing off a small table of broken XOs today to finish setting up a Cambridge repair center, for those interested in seeing that process in action, and building a little parts inventory.<br><br>Today & tomorrow we are also hosting an unconference for general grassroots development and brainstorming; and talking about examples from successful grassroots and international development projects. Please bring your own stories and experiences to share, and feel free to invite friends and colleagues involved in grassroots groups in the area. We will also be preparing problems for attendees of the small-group bootcamp sessions this coming week. (RSVP for the unconf, if you have not yet, so we can plan our food runs.)<br>
