[University-chapters] Introductions!

[Gregory Marra]

My name is Greg Marra. I am a rising Junior at Olin College majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I try to be of assistance when I can, and will likely be taking Olin's "Developing XO Peripherals" course in the fall. I also like to play with XOs, and think they are perfect for writing Python on the subway. I have a few ideas about how to make the XO into a better book reader than it is, but we'll see where those go.

to follow up on that [although i believe most/all of you know me already...], i'm nikki, head of the olin college OLPC chapter. i started this list to get chapters in communication with one another, so that we can share tips, collaborate on projects, and keep one another inspired.

so, olin's plans for the coming school year:
* we are going to be collaborating with a potential pilot school in Cambridge, MA
* there is a 1 credit [3 hr/week; a "normal" class is 4 credits] independent study course on XO peripheral development slated for the fall
* we have a number of students looking into Activity development and are trying to once again get Activity dev incorporated in the Software Design [required ECE course; at least 1/3 of olin's students take it at some point] final project curriculum
* we are looking to organize a jam for the spring [hopefully in collaboration with other boston/cambridge area chapters]
* and of course, keeping in touch with 1CC and keeping the student body up to date on OLPC's happenings

	Good evening, all. I'm Andrew Bouchard, and I'm a grad student in
	mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University. Since I'm working on a
	Master's thesis soon, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do, but I'm
	on this list because I would love to spread the good new of OLPC and
	open source at Vanderbilt, where is doesn't seem to have penetrated yet.
