if it seems to have all the pieces and is potentially in working order, i'll take the mac off your hands if no one claims it! just give me the address and i'll come pick it up :-P <br><br>on a more seriousness note, is there ever any sort of get together on sundays? i used to be able to help out at the MIT museum but can't due to scheduling. Sunday is basically the only day i have to pitch in. <br>
<br>(shrugs) even if nothing normally happens, if any stuff should ever happen on a sunday and you guys need a hand with something, i can show most any reasonable (see: easy to find) place and help out. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Dear all,<br>
<br>
You are invited to our weekly volunteer meeting this Friday, 3-5 pm,<br>
at the OLPC offices. We'll discuss about helping newbies get<br>
involved, ways to improve early experiences on the wiki and mailing<br>
lists, guidelines for filing good bugs. Also on the table: ways to<br>
share good books and other resources, getting involved with a specific<br>
class or teacher, and getting involved for younger students (with<br>
sample unsolicited requests from a few middle school students).<br>
<br>
When: Friday, 1500-1700 EST / 1900-2100 UTC<br>
Where: 1CC, Cambridge<br>
Online: #olpc on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a> (write me if you'd like a<br>
teleconference # as well)<br>
Who: Anyone interested in helping others get involved with OLPC, or<br>
improving collaboration around specific projects.<br>
<br>
We will have snacks and drinks, and some hackers may drop in from the<br>
end of the week's Drupal Sprint.<br>
<br>

For those unable to attend, where will notes from this be<br>
posted/announced? (And will there be an IRC backchannel?)<br>

Online : #olpc on irc.freenode -- if you need a real /back/channel,<br>

published, though I'm looking for a secretary and will not myself be<br>
able to transcribe.<br>

I'd actually suggest moving to #olpc-meeting and the use of<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Meetbot" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Meetbot</a>, in that case - no worries about<br>
taking of notes that way.<br>
