<pre>One Laptop Per Child's office in Cambridge is hosting an olpcMAP
Sprint / Summit from December 27th-31st.
[ <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://saigonolpc.wordpress.com">http://saigonolpc.wordpress.com</a> ]
[ <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/olpcMAP">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/olpcMAP</a> ]
Topics will include:
* Digital mapping with the OLPC laptop, including offline maps
platform supporting GeoRSS and KML (formats of Ushahidi and Google
Earth) <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMap">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMap</a>
* Use of <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://olpcMAP.net">http://olpcMAP.net</a> to map and network schools which use OLPC
laptops and the Sugar operating system. The website and the laptops'
software are free and open source.
* Using the online map as a medium for photos, storytelling, and
updates from local communities around the world
OLPC has shipped two million laptops to schools around the world,
including Haiti, Afghanistan, and other crisis-stricken regions.
Educating students about the power of mapmaking and creating a
communications / content portal serve the long-term interests of
CrisisCommons. There has also been discussion of adults using the
laptops to run Ushahidi and Sahana on a low-cost, low-power, and
resilient system.
Please RSVP if you would like to attend part of our map sprint.
Content-creation is going to be a major focus of December 28-29
events, so it would be great if some of the crisis mapping community
could be there.
