Chris, Jason, and April-Hope,
How's life at Bradley/RPI/Tulsa? Just pinging hello (yes, yes, I know
it's finals^H^H^H^H^H^H I mean, almost winter break!) and wondering
whether you folks were still interested in OLPC stuff.
If so, we're trying to drum up uni chapter activity - the folks at OLPC
HQ were looking for examples of successful grassroots groups and noticed
that - lo and behold, a lot of them were university chapters. Ergo, OLPC
HQ wants to pour more resources into uni chapters now. Good time to jump
in and tell them what you want to do and see. ;)
Ccing the university-chapters mailing list on this, since I'm not sure
if you're members of it yet - anyway, let us know how things are going
and if there's anything you'd like to do. Of particular note: it's
getting easier to run a local pilot now that the Give Many / Change The
World* program is out (it means that you can buy 100+ XOs for cheap,
anytime, instead of for expensiveness during the 6 weeks that G1G1 runs).
What are you interested in doing?
How can we help you?

*...look, I didn't pick the name, okay? I like "Give Many" better,
personally.
