Hi-
Good work Charles! Just posted an excerpt to all OLPC Philippines members on
the Facebook site.
Hi Mel: How are you? I'll be going to Cambridge to attend this:
*OLPC News Boston Meetup*
Saturday, March 8 at 5pm
Kendal Square Cosi <http://www.yelp.com/biz/cosi-cambridge>
290 Main St, Cambridge
Hope you're there so we can discuss how to get at least one *XO* to Charles
asap.
Cheers,
Sandeep
