Harshal and Harshada,

Given that you are local to the SF Bay Area, you are welcome to join
the OLPC-SF list and drop by one of our monthly meetings (typically on
a Saturday, mid-month). OLPC-SF has been around as a
volunteer/enthusiast group for over two years and has members from
eight micro-deployments. We'd love to hear your ideas and see how we
can help.
