Hi Joanne,<br><br>Nice to meet you :)<br><br>Right now, we are looking at possibly hosting the meet up at Figment Project event at Governors Island (Jun. 12). But nothing has been finalize yet, we still need to find a suitable venue for the OLPC NYC meet-up. Does anyone have any ideas for a good location? <br>
<br>Have fun in Uganda! <br><br><br>Ryan <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Joanne Clemente <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Joanne.Clemente@dc.edu">Joanne.Clemente@dc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

What do all of you think? My name is Ryan Letada and I am the Executive
Director of eKindling - a (grassroots) non-profit organization bringing
technology-based, educational innovations to children and classrooms across the
Philippines. We are currently gearing up for our first 100 XO laptop deployment
- so check out the pictures here: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/cherry.withers" target="_blank">http://picasaweb.google.com/cherry.withers</a><br>
<br>
I've been chatting with both Adam Holt (OLPC) and Marina (OLPCVietnam), and we
agree that its about time for another OLPC NYC Meetup. We are thinking about
first or second week of June. <br>
<br>
If you are interested in helping with the planning, please feel free to shoot
me an email. <br>
<br>
Cheers, <br clear="all">
