Hi Jerome,
Your idea of an Ubuntu community event at the University of the
Philippines in Diliman - an information sharing event (the local efforts of OLPC and show an XO unit running Ubuntu) - an opportunity to jumpstart further
the grassroots effort - for more people to get interested in the
initiative and join as volunteers (perhaps as donors).
I'd love to come and learn from you guys. Count me in.

For Fedora enthusiasts out there, would be a good resource!

The engineers at OLPC are busy building an educational experience for
the children of the world. These engineers are basing their excellent
work on Fedora.
Their time is stretched perilously thin. Every hour an overworked
OLPC engineer spends doing Fedora work is an hour they could be
spending doing something else. Those of use who use Fedora and want
to help can have a huge, direct, and immediate impact on the success
of the OLPC project. Naturally, this is not limited to Fedora devs
and users - *anyone* interested is more than welcome to participate
and contribute.
The mission of the OLPC SIG is to provide the OLPC project with a
strong, sustainable, scalable, community-driven base platform for
innovation.
Some immediate goals:
1. To identify and take responsible ownership of as many OLPC base
packages as possible.
2. To maintain an excellent Sugar environment for Fedora, including a
dedicated Sugar spin.
3. To identify useful opportunities for collaboration (infrastructure,
localization, etc.)
Meetings to work on these goals will be called soon. If you are
interested in participating, please join the Fedora OLPC mailing list
here and introduce yourself:
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-olpc-list
So, here's an excellent opportunity to make a difference. I hope you
will be joining me on this effort.
Regards.

Hi everyone,
I'm organizing an Ubuntu community event at the University of the
Philippines in Diliman. The tentative date is on Aug. 23, 2008. This
is basically an information sharing event, not a seminar/tutorial
session. One of the topics I am thinking is sharing to the community
the local efforts of OLPC and show an XO unit running Ubuntu. Would
this be possible? It's also a good opportunity to jumpstart further
the grassroots effort not to mention more people interested in the
initiative and join as volunteers.
Takers anyone?
