[Toronto-dev] Canada's Own OLPC Community BBQ!

Mon Aug 29 17:48:57 EDT 2011

Please count me in!

I'm a software designer based in Toronto/Kitchener and I haven't yet had
the pleasure of working with the XO but I am very interested in purchasing
a batch of them for a school in Uganda.

A quite unbelievable group of OLPC social entrepreneurs and volunteers
working in Kenya, Haiti, South American, Central America (and Canada!)
have clustered around Toronto and Southern Ontario in recent years, and
are now coming together to discuss the very latest around all 3 "current"
generations of laptops (XO-1, XO-1.5 and XO-1.75).

And of course the latest insider rumors on the upcoming XO-3 tablet!

What an important time for Canada's Best to kick back and reflect on
what's really emerging from our almost-4-year-effort now, providing free
and open software making exploratory learning happen.  Among the world's
poorest chidren, inside schools and far beyond -- across so many nations,
one kid at a time... SAVE THE DATE SUNDAY SEPT 18!

All are most welcome to join us if you reply -- that means everyone, Intl
Development specialists, curriculum experts, and...teachers into
technology especially!/  We just ask you to RSVP for the address of the
private garden and farmhouse where this will be hosted, thanks =)/

     OLPC Community BBQ
     Sunday, Sept 18
     4-9PM
     Elora, Ontario

Hi there,

Do you know how far this is from Montreal... I'd love to come if I can
find a way to make it.

Thanks,

Hi Morgan,

The Community BBQ is 1+ hr West of Toronto.  We can easily arrange rides
from Toronto if you need one!

PS not sure the very latest on "Chinatown buses" between Montreal and
Toronto, but others on this list will know the latest cheapskate
buses/train/flight deals hopefully :)
