OLPC user group in Ottawa!

The little XO laptop is getting some momentum in the nation's capital.

I'm passing along the official announcement from Clevergirl.

Sigh... I'm on duty for this week and next week, otherwise, highway 417 is tempting. Or VIA Rail.

Cheers!

lol, except the meeting was *this week*.

As in.. 3 days ago.

You know, I haven't seen any attempt to make a Montreal group In Canada Thread. Perhaps you'd like to start one?

LOL!!!!

I haven't paid attention to the day, I guess (I thought it was in March), but it was more as a tip of the hat, and wishing you good luck!

Don't tell me the Ottawa user group was just a one-time night event and it's all over? :)

So free publicity is still welcome, no? ;)

On a more serious note, I have my hands full, so I wouldn't have time to organize a group here, nor attend.

On a related note, a few co-workers have ordered some XO laptops at the same time I did, last November.

They still have not received their XO laptops, and many e-mails and phone calls leading to nowhere (rather, in conflicting directions, just like you were told), so they canceled their orders.

I can't blame them.

Sigh...

Cheers nonetheless. :)
