That said - there will be a tech track! I don't have a ton of the details yet, but it is still focused on development on Sugar on Fedora since that's where Sugar on the XOs still runs, though I know there are some Edubuntu folks who are keen on getting it into the *buntu side. Mostly I just got involved as an OLPC newbie who was inspired by a LUG talk that OLPCSF leader Sameer Verma did where he talked about how many children were being helped by their deployments. I'm just offering my expertise as a general sysadmin (you can make a website on this server we have? neat! do it!) and member of the wider open source community who may be able to bring some more folks in. @Dinda The event itself is primarily focusing on some deployments around the world that folks in the San Francisco area are participating in, so it’s a lot of collaboration and basic problem-solving that has nothing to do with the actual tech involved.
