[OLPC.ch] General Assembly today

[Michael Lew]

Dear members, volunteers, and friends of olpc.ch,

As vice-president (or co-president) of the Swiss section of the

One Laptop Per Child project, I wanted to update you a little

bit with our work in progress and achievements so far.

This year, I will not be able to be present physically in Bern,

because I am in Paris. Therefore I am proposing to tune in

using Skype video, at some point during the meeting.

My Skype ID is : levstudiom.

It would be terrific to be able to follow the entire meeting

remotely, but I imagine that such a webcast has to be

prepared well in advance in order to function properly.

Some of the topics I wanted to address are :

- Contacts with other associations involved with children

education : OLPC France, Janusz Korczak Gesellschaft,

Le Cube (Issy-les-Moulineaux)

- Participating in the ACM Interaction Design for Children

conference

- Validating our official Manifesto

- Python training

- Academic principles (a 2004 paper by Minsky and some

thoughts on the classification of ludic activities by Caillois)

- the support we have of Chris Mburu, from the UN Human

Rights Council in Geneva

Looking forward to hearing/seeing some of you later !

Michael.
