<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Kenneth and All...<div><br></div><div>SCaLE already does an "OSSIE" Day of sorts with an Education track on Friday and an event on Saturday when the youth plan a lot of activities. We could certainly offer to do more in both of these. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, wouldn't it be great if we could combine with some of the other OSSIE organizations to have a larger (double or triple) booth at SCaLE with lots of stations for youngsters to do hands on things while their parents (and other adults) learn more about the possibilities of OSSIE? XO's, Sugar, RPis, Scratch, EToys, etc... the possibilities seem endless. We need to think about this!</div><div><br></div><div>The internet-in-a-box project is very alive and well! We have a small installation in a school in a women's shelter in Los Angeles. Braddock Gaskill went to Toronto (or was it Boston?) to work with George Hunt, Adam Holt, and others on the latest server software for the XO family. Several installations are being done in other countries. Maybe Braddock can fill us in on more of the details.</div><div><br></div><div>As of today, there are about 20% of you added to the new mailing list. I'll keep on working on it until everyone has been added. Then we will start using it.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. <span style="font-size: 12pt; ">BTW... this year was the first time we attended the Game Night at SCaLE on Saturday. It was wonderful! We'll plan to get there earlier next year and do a lot more participation! Maybe we could even sponsor some sort of game???</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; "><br></span></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div>> Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2013 23:39:53 -0700<br>> From: kmw@caltek.net<br>> To: olpc-socal@lists.laptop.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Olpc-socal] SoCal-OSSIE Will Be Ready To Use Soon!<br>> <br>> what's happening with the internet in the box with olpc? hopefully scale<br>> will let us plan an OSSIE day and sessions.<br>> <br>> On Sat, August 31, 2013 8:02 am, Caryl Bigenho wrote:<br>> Hi Folks,<br>> <br>> <br>> I am in the process of moving us to our new Google Group mailing list,<br>> "SoCal-OSSIE."
