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 formally/informally begun to talk about through discussions amongst ourselves. I would definitely love to get a round table discussion together to flesh out ideas, brainstorm, and generally, begin to build a foundation for our OLPC efforts.<br>
<br>Since Jerome will be available the 3rd/4th week of this month, I suggest that we tentatively set our meeting date for the <b>31st of January (Saturday)</b>. This amount of time will allow us to raise questions, suggest talking points, and thus, build an appropriate agenda for our first official meeting. Additionally, this will allow us to recruit volunteers, educators, programmers, and general supporters. Also, I can also try to get a conference room in <b>Ateneo (Katipunan, Quezon City)</b>. I will try to get a room with wifi access - so that those who are not physically present can still join via the web. <br>
<br>What do you guys think? <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Ryan Letada<br><br>PS. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at 0928-650-2223<br><br><br><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 2:49 PM, James Shields <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:james@marasbaras.com">james@marasbaras.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Wonderful :)<br>
<br>
Where are you based again, James?<br>
<br>
Let's all sked properly so we can move more efficiently. Time is being<br>
wasted and we have stuff to accomplish.<br>
<br>
It's best if we meet as early as possible so that our roadmap is<br>
fleshed out and then we can just all work from in our different areas<br>
afterwards concurrently.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
