One idea I had to start the new year that might keep the conversation going for OLPC / Sugar enthusiasts, particularly for us in eastern North America (but not exclusively!) who are meeting in person less frequently, would be to have a regular Google Hangout. I'll poll some of the usual suspects to see if this idea gets traction. Or maybe I'll just go on the air Sunday evening at 8pm eastern to see who shows up...</p>

But you'd need to find and ask them what they need help with: Nepal, Philippines, Uruguay, Paraguay, India, etc. You can also try to contact George Hunt in the NY area.</font></div>

</div><div>I just joined the NYC chapter and am looking to get involved with OLPC efforts, either locally or abroad. I've been in software development for about 7 years and am interested in putting my skills to use as a volunteer. What upcoming projects does the chapter have in 2013? I looked through the wiki page but it seems like the meetup group is defunct,and most events listed are from 2010. So what's up guys?</div>
