<p dir="ltr">Thanks OLPC (Malay)Asia you're our inspiration to the entire world, where the OLPC community & movement is headed next. I just hope the propaganda department's new OLPC film (<a href="http://blog.laptop.org/2014/09/19/the-award-winning-documentary-film-web-will-have-its-global-release-next-week/">http://blog.laptop.org/2014/09/19/the-award-winning-documentary-film-web-will-have-its-global-release-next-week/</a>) makes proper mention of people like yourself who made this all happen!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Wish you were here back in the center of the universe (who said NYC has an ego ;) where we have a full booth this year at <a href="http://makerfaire.com">http://makerfaire.com</a> shared with the true Saints of Wikipedia. The very guys who came out of nowhere 10 years ago and taught us What Our Grassroots Civic Learning Movement Can Be!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Actually it was the gals who engineered this children affair first :) Last year with ~75,000 people attending, most of them families, bringing far more kids than most OLPC meetups, growing far beyond the geek ghettos, where so many other civic hacktivist havens plateau in their own echo chamber...</p>
<p dir="ltr">So do join, Turning Learning into Burning (just don't play with matches, we have soldering irons to rewire the planet for that!) Can't miss our booth/tables in "Zone 2" if you ask...</p>
<p dir="ltr">What's Needed: help the masses refurb/reflash their 7-year-old XO's to HaitiOS or similar - involve them in our new work building proper KidsLabs in Haiti, Africa and beyond - show off Android on XO-4 - show off OLPC Release 13.2.1 and new Sugars - show off School Server 5.1 (Community Edition, with new hardware AND Internet-in-a-Box AND solar battery monitor, Etc!) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Perhaps Most Important: please email in advance to help us provide better mentoring/love on Sunday when many of us volunteers have to return by Greyhound to our home cities across the Northeast and Canada. Even if you just want to hand out postcards/shirts, and challenge families to write an email while powering an XO solely with a hand crank, then do invite them to serve more deeply overseas like Sean Collins leaving to Haiti Tuesday!</p>
<p dir="ltr">All volunteers most graciously welcome; just help us to unleash kids around the world in your own way, to act on their consciences like Ed Snowden & Laura Poitras or any other DIY/OpenStreetMap constructors who inspire Paying It Forward, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL !!</p>

To some of us, writing computer programs is a fascinating game. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, weightless, growing easily under our typing hands. If we get carried away, its size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the one who created it. This is the main problem of programming. It is why so much of today's software tends to crash, fail, screw up.</p>
<p style="margin:1em 0px;font-family:tahoma,arial,sans-serif;font-size:medium;line-height:24px">When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued, made simple in its complexity.<br>
