\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nSynopsis:
\n\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0“Meshing Around” will be a casual exploration of the anxiously
\nawaited XO micro laptop created by the One Laptop Per Child
\nproject. \u00c2\u00a0At least 2 (and perhaps as many as 5) of the recently
\nreleased devices will be on hand for a variety of feature demos,
\ndesign discussions and hacking hints focusing around this
\nmost unique and high minded Linux project.<\/p>\n

Bios:
\n\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Charles Shapiro is a fan of fencing, juggling, gadgetry, RC toys
\nand most anything the lesser world considers “geek” or “gear head”.
\nConsistent to this calling he has been a professional programmer for
\nover 10 years, specializing in C and unix with a couple years of C++,
\nPerl and a plethora of Python in the mix. He can type faster than
\nmost people can talk, is a Linux Lunacy Cruise alumnae, a liberty
\nminded friend of the EFF and a committed Linux zealot since 1996.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 Mike Harrison originally trained as a USAF BioMedical Electronics
\nTechnician and spent several civilian years as a Consulting Clinical
\nEngineer. \u00c2\u00a0Later he left the hospital\/corporate world and founded
\nHigher Technology Services (HTS) in 1989, Chattanooga Online in
\n1993 and GeekLabs in 1998. Mike sold his interest in HTS and COL
\nin 2003 and made GeekLabs<\/a><\/strong> his business focus. Mike’s interest in
\nthe OLPC is focused toward 2 separate coding projects — an online
\neducational system and a utility payment\/control system that may
\nboth be available to OLPC users in the near future.<\/p>\n
