Subject: [free-culture] Feb 23rd: OLPC Jam Session
Free Culture @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NYU,
A number of us have purchased OLPCs
http://www.laptop.org
in the give one get one program
http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index.php
and are interested in building on it.
So we've booked a room at ITP
http://itp.nyu.edu/
and are going to bring our laptops and have fun making new
content for the little green machines. We're also going to talk
about making the laptop more manageable as a machine to use
everyday for adults -- you'll be able to learn how to hack your
OLPC and install XFCE (a lightweight GUI), Ubuntu, and take
advantage of its unique hardware configurations.
This session will also be for those people who are interested in
learning more about the OLPC in general, and what they can expect
if they're expecting a special delivery. Come with a jump drive,
and of course if you have one -- your OLPC.
Here's the info for those of you who can't be bothered to read non bolded
sentences:
NYU OLPC Jam Session

and
learn.
Thanks!
