In fact, I spoke to soon... <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5311">http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5311</a><br><br>This ticket details who should show up in the Neighborhood view (the view where yourself, wireless networks and other XOs and activities are display). The server being connected to is globally used so there is a huge selection of people owning XOs that you could connect with and collaborate with. One of the future options will be to see only :
<br>1. people near you geographically, <br>2. a random selection across the world, or <br>3. a group of people currently online<br><br>This will be a neat way to meet new people. Just think of it! Share a game of connect-4 with a random new person across town. Have an chat with the dozen most interestingly colored in the Neighborhood View. All kinds of fun can be had... :)
<br><br> Unfortunately, some of these features are scheduled for Update.2, not expected to be here for till March.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 29, 2007 4:31 PM, Michael Burns <<a href="mailto:maburns@gmail.com">

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Yes to expanded developer program...Yes to focus on activities for children...Yes to new support for the XO and its infrastructure.<br>
Most of what I am reading here is Greek to me as I am utterly tech-challenged. Is there any way to find out if someone in our geographic area ..Santa Barbara/ Goleta. CA. ...has an XO and if so, how can we link up with that XO user?
