[OLPC_Boston] Cambridge Friends School

[Yifan]

Hi Julia,

Thanks for contacting us! I've cc'ed Katelyn and MacKenzie, the "brains of
the operation", who might have more information on that. The Illinois team
is primarily involved in the technical aspects of the deployment; creating
custmized USB keys, setting up a server, etc.
