Hello, Naz, Jerome and the rest of the OLPCPhils members,<div><br></div><div>This is Karissa Villa (K Villa/kaffee). As promised, I am mailing you, Naz, regarding your invite on Saturday's OLPC-Phils meet in Ortigas. I am afraid I can't make it there in person but would gladly join online.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My interest in the OLPC has been around since I read about Negropnte's proposal about two years ago.</div><div><br></div><div>My interest in providing some technology and computer appreciation to communities outside of the Metro was strengthened by volunteer work in Ifugao Province in the last two years, with the prospect of OLPC and the technologies and systems attached to it, and the success I it has had in other countries.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am happy for the formation of OLPC-Philippines as it can surely lend the use and promotion of understanding open source better to people like myself trying to re-learn and understand OLPC, its language and its practical applications.</div>
<div><br></div><div>>> RE: Prof. Randy Pausch's Living Your Wildest Dreams video showing:</div><div><br></div><div>I think this is an excellent venue to show the film. I've seen the film and believe that the entire video runs for more than an hour (approx. 76mins), so it would be good to schedule it at any point in the Saturday meet-up that will allow for this much of a break.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Kudos to the organizers of OLPC-Phils and I hope to learn much from the group.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards -</div><div><br></div><div>K</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 5:38 PM, Carlos Nazareno <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:object404@gmail.com">object404@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
