<div>Hello OLPC Community,</div><div> </div><div>I'm a doctoral candidate in learning technologies at Pepperdine University and a teacher in San Francisco.</div><div> </div><div>I need two more interviews to flesh out my movie "OLPC yesterday, today and the future" So if you are in the Bay Area and can grant me an interview discussing where you see OLPC in five years, please let me know. I am clearing my calendar this week and early next. I kind of see the future coming together with something like Henry's project, a place to collaborate with olpcers from around the globe. The interview would take a half an hour max and I would travel to you.</div>
<div> </div><div>Sameer, Henry can you spare a half an hour this week? I can buy either coffee, tea or beer.</div><div> </div><div>Please let me know,</div><div> </div><div>Ricardo Elizalde</div><div> </div><div><br><br> </div>

My adviser is Dr. Sameer Verma. Last October, I participated in the OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2011 where I met many of you. Currently I am conducting two “Usability Tests” for the platforms that were implemented for this project: (1) BigBlueButton and (2) OpenQwaq. The goal of the olpcNET is to provide to volunteers, developers, and teachers a singular place to collaborate in the XO effort (support, development, and deployment). I will really appreciate if you follow the steps below and answer the two 5-question surveys. The participation is anonymous, and I will be happy to share all the results with you. Thank you in advance!<br>
