OLPC SF Community Summit 2011 - Thank you!

Hello everybody!

The community summit is finally over. I think Tuukka Hastrup was the last of the attendees (he stayed back for "Books in Browsers" event) and I saw him off at the BART station on Monday, so its finally over :-) I hope you all have arrived back at your homes safely. Thank you all for coming. This event happens because you attend. This event *is* you, and we are all very happy to be able to host it.

Contributing to the Success of OLPC Deployments

The group came together at SFSU's Downtown Campus on another beautiful October day. There were discussions in the various tracks about Etoys Kedama, Solar Installations and Start up Rsources. In the afternoon everyone came together to discuss OLPC Perceptions and the future of small deployments.

At the OLPC Community Summit San Francisco

The OLPC Community Summit started off Friday night with a Greet and Meet at San Francisco State University's Downtown  Campus. The attendees gathered from numerous countries including the US, Haiti, Philipines, Belgium, France and more! Carol Silver, who leads the Afghanistan project, welcomed all the attendees and shares with them the Proclamation that October 22nd as One Laptop Per Child Day in San Francsico!

One Laptop per Child day in San Francisco

San Francisco Mayor Edwin M Lee has declared October 22, 2011 as One Laptop per Child day in San Francisco. What better way to kick off the OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2011!

Poster contest

Many small deployments go unheard and unnoticed, but every single laptop out there counts. Each laptop is a potential beacon of learning. To that end, Bruce Baikie of Green WiFi is running a poster contest at the upcoming OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2011. Take a look at the page, and submit a poster about your project or deployment. Use the provided templates or make your own.

One Laptop Per Child's OLPC SF Community Summit 2011

Imagine a day without access to your computer? The One Laptop per Child San Francisco Bay Area community (olpcsf.org) sees to it that no child goes without a computer in under-developed countries and even shows them how to use and fix them.  This is a community of volunteer educators, technologists, anthropologists, enthusiasts, champions and others.

Lines in our minds

I was in Jamaica for a week, attending to my duties as External Examiner of the MIS program at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. I also got a chance to work with our OLPC team that manages and supports the two pilot schools we have in August Town Primary School and Providence Basic School.
