[IAEP] European OLPC/Sugar communities @ 26C3?

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi everyone,

I just realized that the deadline for submissions for the 26th Chaos 
Communication Congress aka 26C3 (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/) 
taking place in Berlin from December 27th to 30th is quickly 
approaching. In fact there are only 48 hours left (deadline is October 
9th, 2009 at Midnight UTC)!

So I was wondering whether we should try and set up some (more or less) 
coordinated effort to represent the European OLPC / Sugar communities 
there?

I am tempted to try and submit a talk on the current state of things of 
One Laptop per Child and Sugar Labs (since we all know there's still 
plenty of misconceptions about the projects out there, especially among 
fellow FLOSS types) with a special focus on what's happening both in 
European projects and at deployments such as Nepal, Peru, Uruguay, etc.

We could/should also organize some kind of community gathering like 
last year where members from the Austrian, French and German 
commmunities meet and discussed ideas, did some translation work and 
showed off the XOs and Sugar to interested individuals.

What does everyone think of this idea? Yay? Nay? Dunno?

Thanks,
Christoph
P.S. Sorry for the massive cross-posting but I want to make sure that 
as many European folks read this as possible.
