baseCamp invitation

Do you need some formality for your participation in basecamp 2013. If this is required please write to us and we hope to provide you with a digital invitation. For students this could be useful for documentation and conference grant :-). However please remember basecamp is not the usual academic conference.




A little history

In the past I have written to a few people to see if people are interested in coming together to discuss OLPC deployments in Asia. The first person I wrote to was Elaine Negroponte, Director of Cambodia PRIDE after reading her heart2heart reply to a donation from an individual in Australia. Her immediate reply to a possible meetup was very encouraging:

"I think not only that it is possible to get together in the Fall but it is a wonderful idea as well.  Maybe we can entice some of people involved in other projects to join. I can think of some people in Thailand who may be interested as a start"


For those who are new to OLPC, click on the web-page below. We are looking forward to hearing their stories that can guide future deployments - years instead of days :-)

4 months to basecamp 2013

We have started to invite people from the OLPC ecosystem to participate in the basecamp 2013. For the next few weeks we hope to get some positive replies. We do not have a program agenda yet -  our focus presently is to extend invitations to people who have dedicated years to OLPC mission. Their experience and wisdom will be invaluable !
