This year's G1G1 program will start November 17 in the US. Please help us spread the word. Below is a short email blurb about this year's program ( from [[G1G1 2008/text]] ). We are coordinating some community art and outreach on the grassroots list as well (http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots).
There will be a lunch outreach meeting about G1G1 in #olpc on irc.freenode.net this Friday at 1200 EST (and @ 1CC for those in the area); sign up if you think you can make it, or leave your thoughts about what we should cover / who we should contact / what we can do better this time around: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/G1G1_meetings For giving, SJ ===== One Laptop per Child is launching its second ''Give 1, Get 1'' [G1G1] program starting November 17, 2008, following last year's popular program which received donations from over 80,000 people. This year the XO laptops will be shipped to donors through Amazon.com. The laptops feature the latest release of the Sugar window manager, running on a Linux-based Fedora Core operating system. For answers to frequently asked questions, and for other XO giving programs, see the OLPC wiki.
