[University-chapters] What do you need?

[Gregory Marra]

It was tricky to get our hands on XOs when we first started doing the Olin University Chapter. That held us up from trying to get it worked into curriculum while people were still really excited from the first initial meetings.

I feel like stickers are cool and inexpensive giveaways. I would enjoy stickers that have the XO man and say "My other laptop is green" or "My other laptop has bunny ears" that you can stick on your primary laptop.

If we hit critical mass, biweekly IRC designed hang out and brainstorm times might be cool too.

Just some things,
Greg Marra - Olin College

Hi everybody,

I'm Seth Woodworth, from OLPC.  I'm based here in Boston (Hi Nikki, Tank, et al) but I really want to help foster University groups.  There are already some great community processes for University students to get involved, get laptops, and (hopefully) get educational materials to kids[1].  

But what we're trying to build are some better systems for enabling your organizations to organize yourselves.  Sj and I (nikki mel and others) have some ideas about what would help but we also want to hear from you.  What do you want to see from OLPC?  How can we best support what *you* want to do?

Some ideas:

* Project ideas / requirements
* Supply laptops for projects
* Swag:
* * T-shirts
* * Stickers
* * Silocone bracelets (ala livestrong)
* << Your Idea Here >>

I'm really interested in hearing from you, and hopefully together we can build a project early this school year.

All the best
--S
