DC Community XO-1.5 Laptop "Get Started" Book Sprint

24 Mar 2010

Do you believe in clean, helpful documentation and open source tools?

Then we invite you to join the OLPC/Sugar community, as we overhaul & beautify these dozen HTML pages critical to so many newcomers around the world -- including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Creole and interactive mouseovers -- all in one fast weekend sprint.

At the DC Community Book Sprint, we'll update Walter Bender's snazzy "get started" guide for the new XO-1.5 laptop.

DC Community Book Sprint
Weekend of March 27/28, 2010
9am to 7pm (both days!)
Arlington Career Center
816 S. Walter Reed Dr
Arlington, Virginia
