[Olpc-socal] Do We Want an XO Library for OLPC-SoCal?

[Maung N]

Hello All,

This is a great idea and I fully support it.

I'll be glad to help with the application. We can have a conference call in
the weekend and I can provide a number to call in.

Any volunteer for librarian?

Warmest Regards,

Maung
