Tonight we launch our One Laptop per Child San Francisco Community Summit 2010 with an opening reception at 5PM. I’m so excited!
But the big announcement today was that the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, has proclaimed that October 23, 2010 is One Laptop per Child Day in San Francisco!

It’s been a real honor to be a part of the planning committee for this event, I’ve been able to work with some truly amazing people and I’m looking forward to an exciting weekend of education, technology and outreach tracks. The XOs run on Fedora, but I’m particularly excited to meet Luke Faraone, who is part of the team working on Sugar packages for Ubuntu.
Limited remote participation and streaming will be available for some sessions, see here for details: http://olpcsf.org/CommunitySummit2010/#remote
