[OLPC_Boston] Thursday Request for OLPC Support

[Michael Hsu]

Dear OLPC Community,

My Professor Calestous Juma is speaking with Negroponte this Thursday and
asked me to spread the word, especially to OLPC users for a show of support
to the movement. Please let other people know.

I was also wondering whether there was a Harvard OLPC group where me, a
development specialist, not a computer specialist is wanting to do the more
interesting things we can do in this setting than the setting it was
intended for. (i.e. I can't hook up to the Harvard network)

Best,
Mike
