Dear OLPC Community,<br><br>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. <br>
<br>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)<br>
<br>Best,<br>Mike<br><br>Thursday, November 20th, 2008<br>
