XO Fun in Open Air

| No TrackBacks
It was the second year in a roll for OLPC APAC to bring our XO laptops to meet the public in an open-air fun fair in the streets of Sheung Wan. At the IT Fun Day 2009 organized by the Central and Western District Council, our adorable XO laptops were, again, a favourite.

Early November 2009, Professor Nicholas Negroponte was in Hong Kong briefly.  OLPC APAC was delighted to be able to host a dinner and talk where Prof Negroponte gave us a glimpse of what's to come in terms of the development of the third generation of the XO and the future goals of OLPC.

Many of the attendees are from the industries of information technology, computer science, education and alumni of MIT.  We all had a wonderful evening of sharing experiences from various fields of work.
