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!<br><br>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. <br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Photos, stories and next round of last Sunday WIN activity we'll post soon!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 6:50 PM, Holt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:holt@laptop.org">holt@laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
