Talented social cartographers & deployment folks from across the
OLPC/Sugar community will be fly to Boston Dec 27-31 -- to
physically map our geo-social fabric of small/medium/large
implementations in completely new ways -- on and around CMU/Nick
Doiron's rapidly evolving global deployment/volunteering map:<br>
<br>

<br>
Just like a Book Sprint (writing an entire book within a week, like
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://laptop.org/manual">http://laptop.org/manual</a>) we
will beautify, rigorize and publish this community product within 5
business days.<br>
<br>
We are looking for our very best talent globally to join us, to lay
critical seeds Connecting-The-Dots of learning/deployment/content
knowledge globally, starting with one single student's social map --
that has already powerfully captured the popular imagination of
deployments worldwide, since its alpha-launch in San Francisco last
week.<br>
<br>
SAVE THE DATE, and RSVP early to confirm your (a) contribution and
(b) spot! We have a long way to go, and need your help. The venue
will likely be OLPC's headquarters, in Cambridge, Massachusetts or a
nearby university -- both very conveniently transit-accessible to
Boston's airport "BOS". Details to follow later in November, off of
this page:<br>
