Hello all, Thank you Adam for organizing such wonderful event. My family and I are looking forward to join you next time.
For the benefit of those who could not attend the event today I made two short videos with instruction given by Ian Daniher, Adam Holt, Richard Smith and John Watlington. I apologize in advance for my amateur editing skills. I left full footage at OLPC office in case you would like to reuse the video for future tutorials. Here is the link to videos and some photos http://abdimom.tumblr.com or http://abdimom.tumblr.com/post/1147859637/olpc-repair-training-fest-cambridge-mass-part Azamat Abdymomunov email: abdi...@sloan.mit.edu abdi...@post.harvard.edu cellphone: 202 280 5008 skype: <abdimom> http://www.linkedin.com/in/abdimom KnowledgeMap: abdimom.mit.edu On 16.09.2010, at 20:17, Holt wrote: Awesome we've a dozen+ truly wonderful RSVPs for Saturday's Clinic: coming from as far away as 7hrs down the road in Rochester NY (go http://foss.rit.edu/blog !), New Jersey, and even some exotic land called CaliFilippines, but can you guess the Furthest??
