Math4 at RIT and in Rochester NY
It started as a big idea.
Then Dave Nalley, a Fedora Ambassador, asked for XO laptops to work on that big idea.
Meanwhile, in Rochester NY on January 22, 2009, an OLPC Community SIG was starting. At this initial meeting Karlie Robinson learned that Rochester Institute of Technology Professor, Stephen Jacobs, wanted to teach a class around the XO using machines being donated by Nortel.
On February 7, 2009 David Nalley announced the Fedora Developers XO program. A pilot program in North America that would begin to tackle the 4th grade math curriculum using volunteers equipped with 100 donated XO laptops.
