[OLPC-SF] Partying for OLPovertyCrush (San Francisco, Oct 17-24)

[Holt]

Impoverished Learning among this planet's 2 billion kids has gone on too 
long.  200 million of which get 1 year or less of school, according to 
OLPC VP Matt Keller (who will be joining us and presenting!)

Having lived much of the last year in Haiti, I know we all have 
excruciating OLPC/Sugar stories to tell, some astonishing & historic 
appearing in books soon -- others unprintable even on 
http://planet.laptop.org making us laugh/scream/cry in utter despair.

Yet Others Will Crack Open The Future.  Hacking open our San Francisco 
summit's central weekend schedule in new ways, EG. via Google Hangouts 
with OLPC's founding engineers CScott Ananian & Richard Smith and the 
founder of http://activitycentral.com all for the very 1st time:

We've 5 evening/extracurricular events lining up over the course of the 
week (Oct 17-24) precisely so all can let loose moving our transgressive 
ideas & art forward right here:

so far away (Rwanda, Ethiopia, India, Nicaragua, Uruguay, several from 
Europe, 5-6 from Canada alone, etc) for SF's Community Summit & 
Sugarcamp++ hacksprint workshops both:

In Short:

Not too late to invite other Sugar Labs hackers, teachers, implementers, 
artists sweating their asses off for our Little Movement That Could.  To 
what will be _an incredible week in SF_ connecting 5+ intimately related 
events and communities: Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit 
(http://gsoc-wiki.osuosl.org/index.php/2012 Oct 20-21), Books in 
Browsers (http://bib.archive.org Oct 24-26), AfricaHackTrip

evolving legacy -- /whether or not you personally win a
