Volunteers will be presenting their progress on an exciting new
Community School Server, a very new/evolving open-source project
outlined here:<br>

<br>
This new more modular approach incorporates schools' ongoing
feedback from Haiti, Jamaica, Madagascar, Australia & beyond
-- while building on OLPC's original <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Teachers/hackers/volunteers/principals of all stripe are
especially welcome to come take a look, exploring the early demo
in preparation for San Francisco's global summit & hack sprint
in a month (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://olpcSF.org/summit">http://olpcSF.org/summit</a>).
Please ask any early questions to help us all get ready:<br>
<br>
* how specifically can an open school server strengthen poor
schools worldwide?<br>
* giving them free & open tools to build tight learning
communities of teachers/parents/admins & kids?<br>
* where do librarians, curators & scout leaders critically
fit in to a global culture of DIY learning?<br>
* must 3rd world schools sit idly by as cloud-computing /
iPhoney revolutions pass them by?<br>
* what global culture+institutions will best sustain true
grassroots learning?<br>
<br>
Dinner/Brunch will be somewhere secret between
Waterloo/Elora/Guelph and downtown Toronto -- stay posted, details
to be finalized soon in coming days !<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>(*) last full day of summer may be moved! From Fri Sept 21 to
Thur Sept 20 or Sat Sept 22, </i><i><i>based on popular demand
/ divine intervention =) Those who cannot attend are strongly
encouraged to post questions at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
