[OLPC-Chicago] Chicago-IL summer nucleation group

[Mel Chua]

> If you decide to go with an "OLPC Van" as part of the summer nucleation group, do you have one or would you need one donated?
>   
The latter - buy a van or get it donated. I've been trawling the Boston 
and New York craigslists for cheap old vans we might be able to fix up 
(since we're moving out most of our equipment and such from Cambridge).

> Steve Mastej and I are traveling to Springfield, IL tomorrow to attend a legislative committee hearing on a proposed new bill titled "Children's Low-cost Laptop Act". We'll report back afterwards on what we hear there...

How did it go?
> I have attached the draft of a proposal that details an OLPC/XO Support Center that would service individuals, schools, and grassroots efforts in the Moraine Valley Community College district. This proposal was sent to the Dean of Science, Business and Computer Technology, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Moraine Valley's College President here at MVCC today. Any feedback that any of you would be willing to share would be appreciated!

Is this proposal something that would be ok to publicly post on the 
wiki, perhaps with large amounts of {{draft}} tags?
