Now comes the fun part pulling together what may well be the biggest<br>
community summit OLPC/Sugar have ever had -- with a core focus on<br>
Deployment Realness around the SF Bay area /and/ deep testimonials /<br>
skill-building / expert educator-implementor sessions from around the world.<br>
<br>
Hosted at San Francisco State University, right downtown, where Open<br>
Internet Culture began 40 years ago (or so it's argued!) Expected to be<br>
co-hosted in SF dovetailing right alongside the Internet Archive's Oct<br>

<a href="http://archive.org" target="_blank">http://archive.org</a> reminding us all the keep our content strategies Real!<br>

It will be so exciting to finally meet the California crowd all<br>
together, many of whom have still never met each other now the "global<br>

SFSU's Prof of Open Source & Free Beer Sameer Verma is in charge, with<br>
his truly exceptional OLPC-SF community, and welcomes all -- but please<br>
