All,

So I've met some of the people on this list, but for those I haven't, my
name is Owen Derby. I'm from MIT and I'm part of a team from MIT that
applied for the OLPCorps program for this summer
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps). I have also been organizing
meetings for all OPLCorps applicants in the area, and have also obtained
15 XO's from OLPC for a loaner library intended for OLPCorps teams in
the area. However, we won't find out until April 10th who's been
accepted. Between now and then, I was hoping to have a Jam of sorts with
the other OLPCorps teams in the area, where we would just put these XOs
to use and play around with them. I was wondering if any of the
knowledgeable people on this group would be interested stopping by and
helping educate us on the ins and outs of the XOs? I'm thinking covering
the different programs as well as Sugar and the underlying linux would
be good places to start. No definite date as of now, but tentatively
Tuesday 4/7 6-8 in Kendall Square.

Please let me know if you'd be interested. If you can make Tuesday, let
me know, as well as if you can't when you could.

Thanks,
Owen Derby
