[OLPC-Philippines] All-hands online meeting: the backstory

[Mel Chua]

And more...

(I'm realizing that this forwarding isn't filling in all the gaps, but 
at least it gives you some context to ask questions from in case I'm 
really missing something that you want to know!)

This is a *really* good idea, btw!

High level discussion of organization would probably take up most of the 
meeting time.

Proposed: that folks who propose/take-on 
organizations/titles-of-responsibility also take on concrete, 
not-just-managerial tasks to move that responsibility forward. (You seem 
to be doing this anyway, so this just sets it as a solid expectation for 
newcomers.)

 > questions in a more substantial manner. We can maybe do a seperate 
meeting dedicated to the mechanics of launching a pilot/deployment. I 
wonder who would be the best person who can host this meeting? *wink* 
*wink* *nudge* *nudge* =)

Sure, that's something I can volunteer for at the first meeting. ;)
