[Olpc-uk] [laptop.org #37030] Contributors Program Application OLPC UK / Regional XO Laptop Library Proposal

[Martin Dengler]

Hi Margaret,

It's going well - we have 6 laptops out on loan of a total of 9 fully
working laptops.  The OLPC UK meetings are going very well with lots
of interest and participation: 6 people at the latest meeting, and I
understand one of the attendees went to the recent SugarCamp in
Paris.

Our next meeting is scheduled for this coming Wednesday:

Michael Jordan has been sending out notes about past meetings here:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-uk/2009-May/000113.html ... and
I've put them on the wiki:

Martin

PS - I would like to keep to a monthly update frequency and give a bit
more detail than this, so I hope this is a useful email address to
which to direct that update.  I will also be updating
olpc-uk at lists.laptop.org.
