[OLPC-SF] SF Community Summit - Updating the deployment guide

[akleider at sonic.net]

Jonathan,

You are the first person I thought of when reading this email. Not only
June and I but many other OLPC people are anxiously hoping that you will
be coming. Mark would clearly want to spend time with you discussing Nosy
Komba.

I'm forwarding this to you in case you are not on our mailing list.

> I am coming to the SF Community Summit and would very much like to meet
anyone who could contribute experiences, ideas and lessons learned to
the
> next release of the deployment guide, which I am in the process of
updating. The new guide will contain more information for large scale
deployments at country, state or region level. It will include guides on
planning the deployment as a phased rollout covering piloting in a
single
> school through to rolling out to many cities in parallel. The following
new sections will be added to the guide:
>
> ·      Planning the deployment
> ·      How to address national & regional education policy (including
sponsorship)
> ·      Funding scenarios decision tree (NGO v Gov v Philanthropist v
Charity)
> ·      Team set up and deployment management
> ·      Links to related documents such as training guides
> ·      Templates, e.g. training & deployment timetables
> ·      Lessons learned, e.g. Don’t rely on solar power, ...
> ·      A teachers perspective / how to facilitate learning with the XO ·
     Teacher Training
> ·      Community Involvement
>
> If you will be at the summit and would like to meet up please get in
touch. If you have lessons learned, ideas, or case studies that you can
send me to incorporate into the new guide then please email or skype me.
