[OLPC_Boston] OLPC_Boston Digest, Vol 3, Issue 13

[Deborah Donohue]

I agree - the main display should be the XO!! But there has ben  
mention of the eeePC adn Kindle - if anyone has these they would also  
be of interest.
What we need is a commitment - people who would agree to attend.
Diane - could you bring some XOs? How many are there available?
We would need people who could talk about them and show them.
But for the workshop we would need a person who could commit to doing  
a 1 hour presentation to about 50 - 60 people (I believe that's about  
how many can fit in a room) I'll hve to find out for sure if the  
number is an issue.
