Thanks Ryan! Unfortunately, I won't be available to join this meeting but would be interested<br>in joining the next ones. Is there a "Meeting Minutes" archive to look at so I know what you <br>guys have talked about? <br>
<br>While I think the development of XO is an interesting topic, I hope you'd start with <br>the agenda that you proposed Ryan on the facebook account (mainly on the organization). <br>A deployment guide is provided by OLPC on this page: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide</a><br>
<br>I concur, it seems the group is going on different directions and unless we centralize our efforts to get funding<br>and actually get deployed, these efforts might be moot. <br><br>For future reference, I'm based in California and I'm available from 9pm-12am US PST (1pm-4pm Philippine time).<br>
<br>Below are my experiences/skills, goals for the organization and time commitment :<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Skills and Experience: Worked as an electrical engineer for 4 years doing board design, ASIC verification and FPGA design and verification. <br>I'm decent with C++, some PERL, UNIX and could pick up and learn another language if needed. Currently, I've learned<br>
some webpage authoring and MySQL enough to design a webpage and database for a company: <a href="http://www.momworx.net">www.momworx.net</a>. Used<br>Adobe CS3 design suite and PHP for this. I can read and do basic PHP but admittedly still weak on it. <br>
<br>Goals for the organization: While I'd like to do some development work for the XO someday, I'd like to initially <br>work on the out-of-country funding for OLPC-Philippines. I can take on adapting<br>the main OLPC (<a href="http://www.laptop.org">www.laptop.org</a>) website to get our own OLPC-Philippines PR website. I can work on<br>
PR such as e-mailing, and help with the efforts of centralizing the different lines of web communication. I can also look <br>for different PR opportunities here in Northern California to promote the cause. <br><br>Time Commitment: I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, but I have time to spare (5 hours/a week at least) to work on the above goals. I have<br>
about 2 years to dedicate to OLPC-Philippines before I head back to work. My hours on-line: 9pm-12am and I'll have my <br>facebook account open for chats around those times. I'd be willing to log on to IRC/#olpcph for a couple of days a week as a point <br>
person for communication. <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
My prayers are for us to succeed! A child's potential can only go as far as the tools provided for him. Mozart's <br>genius wouldn't have been realized if he wasn't provided a piano at a young age. <br><br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I think a meeting would be a great idea.<br>
<br>
Arthur - I agree with you entirely. I think these are questions that we have<br>
formally/informally begun to talk about through discussions amongst<br>
ourselves. I would definitely love to get a round table discussion together<br>
to flesh out ideas, brainstorm, and generally, begin to build a foundation<br>
for our OLPC efforts.<br>
<br>
Since Jerome will be available the 3rd/4th week of this month, I suggest<br>
that we tentatively set our meeting date for the *31st of January (Saturday)<br>
*. This amount of time will allow us to raise questions, suggest talking<br>
points, and thus, build an appropriate agenda for our first official<br>
meeting. Additionally, this will allow us to recruit volunteers, educators,<br>
programmers, and general supporters. Also, I can also try to get a<br>
conference room in *Ateneo (Katipunan, Quezon City)*. I will try to get a<br>
room with wifi access - so that those who are not physically present can<br>
still join via the web.<br>
<br>
What do you guys think?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Ryan Letada<br>
<br>
