Karlie held a talk on the OLPC and the 4th Grade Math Project which was ulimately the reason I attended the event and there was quite a bit of interest in the project from BarCampers.

Luke and Remy did a talk on civx.us – an Open Source Public Government Information System

I also attended a talk on OpenStreetMap which I found quite interesting.

Due to a previous commitment I was unable to stay for the entire event but I am plan on and look forward to attending the next event.

So I went out and purchased the required Sandisk Extreme III 4 gig SD Card needed for this and the only thing missing was the XO itself.

I just received a call from my wife that the XO has arrived at my home just in time for my scheduled testing block tomorrow evening. I am really stoked about testing and filing bug reports on the XO.

So now I am counting down the seconds left at work so I can get home and finally see this “Green Machine”
