<p>For power supply at the picnic we can bring UPS battery backup power supplies.... if anyone else has some .... should give us a few hours each. There may be outdoor "landscaper's outlets" at the park . </p>

<br>We have a tentative arrangement with Kipp SF Academy, also for this fall.<br><br>> Here's what I propose: We meet on the 15th in Sunnyvale for OLPC-SF &<br>> Picnix, and see if we can do a regular meeting on the 22nd in downtown SF.<br>
><br>> Ed (Cherlin), can you coordinate some of the things for the 15th @ Picnix?<br><br>Certainly. Please note that the event is from 11 am to 5 pm. This<br>information is provided on the #linuxpicnic IRC channel, but not on<br>
the Web page.<br><br><a href="http://www.linuxpicnic.org/twiki/bin/view/Picnix18/WebHome" target="_blank">http://www.linuxpicnic.org/twiki/bin/view/Picnix18/WebHome</a><br><br>Volunteers are needed for setup beforehand, during the event, and for cleanup.<br>
<br>Everybody, please let me know if you can bring XOs, Sugar on a Stick,<br>or Sugar on any other kind of Linux. I will have all three, with some<br>lesson demos.<br><br>Does anybody have a child who can demonstrate Sugar to attendees?<br>
<br>Does anybody have spare XO battery packs? Does anyone have a c that we can use, either 12 V DC or standard AC? We would<br>need extension cords to go with it. I can bring some, including power<br>squids, and a DC-AC converter made for an auto lighter socket. I'll<br>
find out whether we can park a car nearby for recharging.<br><br>What literature should we bring?<br><br> What else?<br><br>> cheers,<br>> Sameer<br>> --<br>> Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D.<br>> Associate Professor of Information Systems<br>
