A strong community of people with the passion to improve the hardware,
software, and content of the devices has grown through the OLPC Wiki
<http://wiki.laptop.org/> right here in Rochester. The Rochester
connection to the class is the OLPC Users Group
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Rochester%2C_NY>, led by Frederick Grose
and Karlie Robinson, both of whom have been instrumental in the
development and delivery of the course and the coops. It was the ties
Robinson had to the Open Source community as owner of On-Disk.com
<http://on-disk.com/> that initiated the program's connections to Red
Hat, Fedora <http://fedoraproject.org/> (who donated 25 OLPC's to
Jacob's lab for Technological Literacy) and Sugar Labs (the OLPC
spin-off responsible for the growth and development of the Sugar
operating system). Grose and Jacobs began working on OLPC related
efforts two years ago and it was Grose who supervised the Co-Ops and was
the primary organizer of a week --long trip to Boston to meet others in
the OLPC, Sugar and Open Source communities.
