We have 25 RSVPs already, I can't wait to meet so many Canadians
committed to giving others a fighting chance!<br>
<br>
REMINDER: if you'd like a full invitation with address and
directions, the volunteers who are organizing and paying for our
Elora Garden BBQ just request
you send me a bit more about your interests in OLPC.<br>
<br>
Two sentences in a private mail suffice!
Background/interests/talents/whatever. (Whether or not you are
interested in volunteering overseas or in person, that is OK. Of
course if you are interested, don't hesitate to send your resume to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:volunteer@laptop.org">volunteer@laptop.org</a>)<br>
<br>
PS I'd also ask you please send me your phone number and rough
location privately, as we are organizing rides from Toronto and
Waterloo, thanks :)<br>

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).<br>
<br>
And of course the latest insider rumors on the upcoming XO-3
tablet!<br>
<br>
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!<br>
<br>
All are most welcome to join us if you reply -- that means
everyone, Intl Development specialists, curriculum experts,
and...teachers into technology especially!<i> We just ask you to
RSVP for the address of the private garden and farmhouse where
this will be hosted, thanks =)</i><br>
