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

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