Yes, let's meet afterwards 2PM or soon after, for those serious about
driving forward partic projects.<br>
<br>
I'm quite happy to improvise walking to a nearby park/cafe/oceanfront
etc at that time -- Soundview Park is just a few min to the South, or
we can follow others' suggestions...<br>

<pre>Why:
OLPC/Sugar community volunteers working in East Africa (Uganda,
Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, etc) updating each/others working in West
Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, etc) on their progress.
The restaurant is a few blocks away from where the famous incident
of Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo occurred. The restaurant building
is connected to the NYS Assemblyman Diaz clinic named after Diallo.
We might even allow discussion of Sao Tome & Principe from
