[OLPC-NYC] FREE OLPC Repair+Training FEST - Cambridge, Mass - Sat Sept 18, NOON-3PM

[Marife Mago]

This is actually an interesting event, we're hoping that in the next round
of events we can pull out one of this one of a kind event +deployment
stories right from the city!

Kevin actually  showed us how to bare an XO...and how to take it a part!
while waiting for the next batch of XO to reflash.

The last Sunday event @ WIN was indeed ambitious 'reflashing 200 XO's ' ?!
good thing we ended up doing 55 XO's which was just enough for that day.
:)   at least now the kids in WIN can start exploring the XO's with it the
latest build.

Photos, stories and next round of  last Sunday WIN activity we'll post soon!
