[OLPC-Philippines] OLPC

[Mel Chua]

Hi again, Jon!

I'm copying your message to the OLPC Philippines list - I'm not in the 
Philippines myself, but the volunteers who are there and working on OLPC 
and Sugar related topics are on this list, and it's where I get all my 
information on what's happening.

(On that note, I've been very appreciative of the recent messages that 
have been going to the list to keep everyone up to date on what's going 
on - please keep it up, and cc even more messages to the list - I'd love 
to see the discussions behind these announcements as well!)

Jon, I can't help you much with Philippines-specific stuff, but if you'd 
like to know what's going on more with Sugar in particular, pop onto 
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep and we'll talk.

PS: A teacher once told me that one of the most important lessons one 
could learn was how to be productively lost - and I've found this to be 
particularly true in open source. So Jon, if you're a little lost but 
still moving forward, that's good! If you're ever not confused, that's 
probably an indicator that you're missing something. ;)
