[Olpc-uk] publicity possibilities: Racepoint & OLPC UK

[Daniel Drake]

Hi all,

The Racepoint Group is a PR company that does a lot of great publicity
work for OLPC, mostly in the US. You can read about some of their work
here:
http://www.racepointgroup.com/clients/case_detail_onelaptopperchild.cfm

They also have UK presence and a few people who work on OLPC publicity
in this country.

Great news: they are interested in helping us out with the
publicity/media outreach for the pilot deployment. 3 of them will be
present at the meeting tomorrow.

However it goes without saying that there are some details to be
worked out -- we need to see how we can involve them best, and they
obviously can't make any promises without learning more about the
pilot and confirming various details with the parties involved.

To the people who are working on publicity/PR for the pilot, please
introduce yourselves to Kersti and her 2 colleagues tomorrow. Maybe
there will be some time to get the discussions started, or if not we
can definitely work by phone/email from Thursday onwards.

This could be a really valuable resource for the project... please
welcome them! :)

cheers,
Daniel
