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!)<br>
<br>
Having lived much of the last year in Haiti, I know we all have

historic appearing in books soon -- others unprintable even on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://planet.laptop.org">http://planet.laptop.org</a> making us laugh/scream/cry in utter
despair.<br>
<br>
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 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://activitycentral.com">http://activitycentral.com</a> all for
the very 1st time:<br>
