[OLPC_Boston] Illinois Math and Science Academy OLPC Deployment at CFS (private school) in Boston

Hi Everyone,

This is just an update about our progress in our deployment plan in
Boston with CFS.  Today we met with some students from Harvard's OLPC
Chapter and we've discussed the logistics of the process.  Our basic
goals are 1) to create a customization stick that adheres to the
curriculum at the school, 2) To implement an XS server for the school,
3) To train a student group capable of maintaining the technology, 4)
introduce both teachers and students to the computers and the possible
benefits in terms of educational experience and the curriculum.  We
intend on meeting with CFS teachers and ITS staff in order to begin
implementing these changes as soon as tomorrow (Monday, January 5th).
  Most of our progress will be kept on wiki.laptop.org
<http://wiki.laptop.org> , specifically at our Boston Pilot
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ILXO_Boston_Pilot> page.  If you are
interested please feel free to contact anyone involved in the IMSA
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IMSA> Chapter or send us an email.
