[Olpc-socal] Support for Request Requested!

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All,
I have resubmitted a request for 2 of the latest XO-1.75s to have for our OLPC/Sugar Labs booth at SCaLE 10X next month.  An online meeting to review the applications is tentatively scheduled for 11am PST (2pm EST) on Tuesday December 27 (meetings are usually on Fridays). One way to help get approval is to "stack the deck" with lots of supporters attending. If you don't already have something scheduled for that day, perhaps you can "pencil this in."  Hopefully, if we are approved, they will let us keep the machines for a while so some of you can try them.
Here is the link to info about the Meeting:

P.S. These machines have the new ARM processor and take a lot less power to run. Supposedly the hand crank now becomes feasible!  There are also a few very rare touch-screen models floating around with developers, so the software being developed for them can also run on the upcoming XO tablet. I asked for one of those if at all possible. Probably not, but wouldn't that be an neat thing to be able to show the folks at SCaLE?
