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 [User:KRobinson 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 equiped with 100 donated XO laptops.
