[OLPC-Chicago] Informal OLPC Meetup this Saturday at Moraine Valley Community College

[Jeffrey A. Schwartz]

Hi everyone. I appreciate the comments and help that I have received on line
here in the past yet I continue to find programming the XO extremely
difficult for me. I am planning on trying to come by Moraine Valley this
Saturday although I will not be able to get there until near the end of the
meeting. If someone is interested in spending a few one on one minutes to
help me it would really be appreciated. I am specifically looking for help
in getting a functioning web browser with Flash, JAVA working and some type
of media player that will play mpeg4 files. Thanks, JAS

Community College

There will be an informal meetup for enthusiasts interested in the One
Laptop Per Child project and their XO laptop at Moraine Valley Community
College this Saturday. Anyone/everyone is welcome to drop by. Children are
100% welcome to attend with an adult. Children usually outnumber the adults
at these gatherings and kids as young as 4 years old have attended.

These meetups are casual. You do not need an XO laptop in order to
participate - I have extras and I am willing to share. :-) This is an
opportunity to:

 *
Learn about OLPC and the XO
 *
Learn a new activity or two
 *
Ask for assistance with issues you might be having (we'll do our best to
help)
 *
Share what you know with others
 *
Use the XO's mesh feature to use collaborative activities with others
 *
Take apart an XO and see what it looks like on the inside
 *
Get a broken XO fixed - we have parts! (hopefully there aren't many of
these... ;-)

I have experience installing Flash and I also plan to install the Opera
browser on one of my XOs at the Saturday meeting if that interests anyone.



The gathering will occur in T921B (which is located in the Center for
Contemporary Technology, otherwise known as the T Building) at Moraine
Valley Community College in Palos Hills, IL from 9 a.m. to noon. Feel free
to drop by anytime during this . You can find maps and travel directions at
