Friday, August 2 at 11AM (EDT) / 1500 (UTC) / 1700 (CEST) ? interviewing Bastien Guerry and Xavier Carcelle of OLPC France in our next Hangout On Air session. OLPC France is one of the oldest European grassroots communities and organizations and has done great work in a lot of different areas. More specifically both Bastien and Xavier have been closely involved with a variety of different OLPC implementations in Haiti, Nosy Komba (an island in the north of Madagascar), and Saint Denis (a suburb on the outskirts of Paris). They have also contributed a lot to the global community, especially with their organization of the two Sugar Camps in Paris in May 2009 and September 2011, their efforts in the francophone world, and by extensively documenting and sharing their work on their website, at conferences and community summits in places such as Montevideo, Uruguay, and elsewhere. So, needless to say I?m really looking forward to Friday?s conversation with the guys and so should you! Tune in live at youtube.com/unleashkids and if you have any questions during the show then please either e-mail them to contact at unleashkids.org or tweet with the #unleashkids hashtag. I?ll do my best to keep my eyes open for questions and include them in the session. Alternatively you can of course also watch the recording on YouTube afterwards. As somewhat of a teaser I would recommend watching this video of the world-famous XO Dance from Nosy Komba: Clip Nosy Komba von olpcfrance Original invitation: http://blog.unleashkids.org/2013/07/31/this-friday-august-2-olpc-france-hangout/#comment-14
