<pre wrap="">Hi all,
This is a reminder for this Friday's meet-up! On 11 March, at 6pm, One Cambridge Center (right above the Kendall/MIT Red-Line Stop), we're talking about/playing around with
1. eBooks on Sugar Realities (if you want to try out Read 89, see hint below)
2. Map jams:

and each OLPC/Sugar CITY that will follow in March (Paris, then French Africa) )
3. West Somerville eToys training
4. Uruguay Summit May 5-7
5. Intel/Computer Clubhouse's new global mentoring network ("starting soon
right here in town")
6. ...
Adam told me to emphasize that munchies will be available -- even if they aren't all chocolate books.
Looking forward to seeing you
Adam, Mike, Andi

If you'd like to install Read-89 on your xo-1.5, I've put some simple instructions on the wiki:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Read#Install_read-89_on_a_xo-1.5_for_newbies">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Read#Install_read-89_on_a_xo-1.5_for_newbies</a>
(Beware, this involves an OS upgrade to 11.2.0, which can have unforeseen side-effects like stability issues, allergies, ...)

Thanks Andi:<br>
With many people now confirming to me they're buying their "1st week
of May" flights to Uruguay, this Friday will be a really great
chance for all of us to catch up on our global community's <u>1st
ever major summit in the Southern Hemisphere:</u><br>
