It's that time of the year, when we once again gather our ideas, our projects, our hopes and come together at the OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2012.

I met Prof. Barry Levine at an event hosted by the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement at San Francisco State University. It was mid-December 2009. He was planning a trip to Armenia, where he runs a program at the American University of Armenia. A couple of conversations later, he agreed to work on some aspect of OLPC with his team there.

Call for proposals for OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2012 is now open. Sessions will be on Saturday, Oct 20 and Sunday, Oct 21 2012.

Keep in mind that we are looking for workshop-style sessions, and not just slide presentations. The goal of the sessions is to present information and to work on problems. Think of other people who may be interested in working with you. Talk to them and put them on your proposals. Think constructive, not just instructive!

Let the ideas flow!

The OLPC San Francisco community is planning the upcoming OLPC San Francisco Community Summit 2012 in San Francisco, CA, USA.
 

The dates are:

Oct 19 (registration and reception)
Oct 20 (full day)
Oct 21 (full day)

Mark your calendars!

A picture is indeed worth a thousand words...and more.

We put together this coffee table book with 38 pictures from around the world. Only two copies were printed. These were raffled off and were won by Samuel J Klein and Terri Bucci. I saw SJ's copy in the Cambridge office. I hope Terri is enjoying hers.

Last year, right after the OLPC SF Community Summit 2011, I had the pleasure of attending Books in Broswers (BiB-II) at the Internet Archive.
