[Michael Jordan]

The first meeting of OLPC here in the UK is approaching fast and there has

been such interest and I look forward to the exchange of ideas on the night.

Agenda

 

The agenda and discussion will be intentionally broad; the goal of this
meeting is to gain a stronger understanding of all attendees, what you
collectively and individually would like to contribute to the cause and the
collective view on what could be achieved by an OLPC organisation in the UK.
I have made some adjustments to the original agenda suggestion but welcome
any input on points that should be added.

 

1.       Opening 

2.       OLPC Update

3.       Introductions - an opportunity for all attendees to introduce
themselves and share their thoughts on OLPC involvement

4.       OLPC UK - open forum on what the group believes could be achieved
by an OLPC UK organisation

5.       Progress - the UK is lucky to have a number of people already
involved in and contributing to the OLPC cause; some of whom will be
attending and able to update us on efforts so far

6.       XO Demonstrations - thank you to a large number of you who have
advised you will be bringing an XO; it will  be excellent for those that
don't yet own one to gain a stronger understanding of the technology behind
the cause
