[OLPC-Chicago] XO loaners needed for Pycon in March

[Mel Chua]

Chicago-area folks with XOs, PyCon needs you. Reply to Mike Fletcher, 
who's cc'd here (the same fellow running the Sugar tutorial at PyCon).

Seems we'll have plenty of machines available for the Sprints after
PyCon.  That's great.

I'd like to have a number available on the tutorial day as well (the day
before the conference starts).  I have a B4 and can likely get a B2 back
from one of my local developers for a few days, but I'd like to have at
least 5-6 machines so that people can try out the software we'll be
building as we go.  Any people with laptops willing to loan them for a
few hours on the day before the conference starts (first thing in the
morning, March 13, 2008, in Chicago)?  We'll need a reasonably stable
environment on them (e.g. Update.x) so that tutorial-goers are not
hitting regressions as they try to work through the tutorials.
Shouldn't be all that much 'wear and tear' on the machines, mostly
they're just so that people who learn best by muscle memory of the steps
can learn how to work on the systems.

Thanks all,
Mike
