My name is Jennifer DeBoer, and I am currently a graduate student in education policy. I am interested in the use of technology in resource-deficient areas, so OLPC is a major area of interest for me. I started getting involved in 2007 when I began looking into the possibility of an HIV/AIDS learning activity for children in rural Mozambique (<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Jumpbean" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Jumpbean</a>). <br>
<br>I have made a start at the activity that I want to beta-test this winter, but I am still struggling through the creation of a workable product. I would love to contribute by offering my perspective from the educational research and international development side of things, and I would love to get support in finishing this first activity and continuing to develop better interventions for health and education!<br>

Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Another late self-intro. I'm a graduate student working on low-cost medical devices for the developing world and hoping to somehow get a thesis out of it. I don't have a ton of IT or XO experience. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in rural South Africa from 2007-2009 and worked in the education sector there. While there, I was also the village computer dude and worked a lot on fixing up computers and teaching some basic classes. </div>

A late self-intro - I'm a water and sanitation engineer by training, but my main work and interest is in knowledge sharing, i.e. building a knowledge bank on Appropedia.org, for all manner of info about development and sustainability, including water, sanitation and public health among many other topics.<br>
<br>So, I'm not sure exactly what's planned, but I'd be happy to lend a hand to Randy and Caryl on water/sanitation. <br><br>I also assume that any content that is created is under an open license, and hope that it's put somewhere where it will be well indexed, findable, and usable - naturally I'm thinking of Appropedia :-).<br>

<div>Maybe do some pairings like Jacquie and Stephen on malnutrition, Randy/Caryl on water/sanitation, Caryl/Sameer on recording peripherals (using the measure program in Sugar), Sandra/Dari on HIV/AIDS...? What do people think?</div>
