[Opensource] Re: An XO / Sugar gathering?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Great idea.

It would be a great advantage to bring together as many XO-1 users at
once (or their laptops) so we can update the firmware and software. I
was really surprised to see how many goodies were on the laptops that
we used at the VITTA conference that I had missed.

Hmm, how about around the second week of January or third week of
February. Happy to offer my school in Clayton South as a venue as we
are going through a huge equipment rollover and I could use the
distraction. We could combine it with a Moodle moot that was planned
or leave it for another time or followup restaurant fellowship
meeting.

Regards Roland
