And more responses to the list! I think all of our conversations have 
been moved by now. I will check.

Note that once deployments start, support-engineering and 
development-engineering are going to be quite different things. (Make 
existing tech work on the ground, vs develop new tech.)

Also note that development-engineering may mainly be work upstream in 
the main Sugar Labs (or whatever) projects - I do not really see us 
having to write a lot of Philippines-specific code (...I honestly can't 
think of any examples of why we'd need to do this at the moment. Can 
anybody?)

If someone reminds me at the meeting, I would be happy to make sure the 
meeting gets logged.

I actually don't know where and when the meeting is. Can someone clarify?

We are now! For our meeting date/time/place, please see... *drumroll*

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Philippines/Meetings

If people have accompanying materials, can you please upload them to the 
wiki or somehow link to them from the agenda?

Also, I took the liberty of assuming a chat channel (which has a logging 
meeting bot). Please correct me if I'm off.

Hello

Is a good advice to take Bryan's work from Nepal very close as a role model
to follow,  in order to start an organization that stands for open and free
education and software.

 OLE Nepal is one of the scarse examples of succes on an small-to-medium
deployment (separated from the national government) of OLPC.

Bryan was a recent guest in the FLOSS weekly podcast and he gave some
very good insights on starting at grassroots level and eventually
penetrating mainstream!
