Participate¶
The OLPC Australia development community is based on free and open source software principles. That means that we need you to help us!
Here are some ways in which you can get involved in the OLPC Australia technical community. Once you are done, you can return to our development home page.
Learn about us¶
See our About page to learn more about OLPC Australia and our One Education programme.
Discuss on our technical mailing list¶
Technical matters are discussed on our technical mailing list. This is where we can brainstorm and discuss issues in a more fluid way outside of our development site.
If you have any questions about OLPC Australia technical matters, this is the place to ask.
If you need to, you can also contact us directly.
Join us on social networks¶
We are active on several social networks.
Help with testing and repairs¶
If you don't consider yourself to be very technical but would still like to contribute, we would really appreciate your help with testing XO software releases and repairing broken XOs.
Join our development¶
You are already here! We use this site as a project management system to manage our technical development. See our development page for details.
