<div> </div>
<div>2. XO activity development 'XO Hackathon' for programmers who would want to meet and colllaborate with existing new sugar development or new sugar activity. (e.g George Hunt's Xophoto activity etc...) or it can be a how to start developing acitivities in XO.</div>
<div> </div>

<div>can we include here our initial meet-up can be earlier before brunch or after brunch?</div></blockquote><br></div>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...

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff"><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
<a href="http://bethstepsup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://bethstepsup.blogspot.com</a> since Beth is in fact flying thru
NYC on her way back from Africa, exactly then :)
