[OLPC_Boston] OLPC - Boston University

[Lauren O'Hanlon]

Hi Mel/Anurag -

I returned from Asia (India) a couple weeks back and am just getting settled
back in.  Anurag/Dan would be happy to catch up @ BU or at the next Bos
meeting.  I'm doing a bit of running around at the moment (am currently in
NYC but headed back to Bos tonight) trying to find gainful employment, etc.
but still want to help out where I can and as such a brain dump is all I can
offer at the moment...

Best,
Lauren
