OK, folks.  We've got only a few days left until FUDCon, and we should 
have a pretty strong OLPC presence there.  Let's make sure we're using it 
properly.

Seems to me we need to have discussions/hackfests on:

* xo packaging versus rpm.  What should we be doing here?  Should we be 
packaging every xo as an rpm, or not?  Should we be building "xo bundles" 
as RPMs?  It would be a good idea to agree on how to spend our scarce 
resources here.

* olpc/fedora roadmap discussions.  Greg Smith, I know you're planning on 
meeting with John Poelstra, but it might be helpful to run this as a 
hackfest/planning session on Friday.

* f10/olpc4 sprint.  Everyone get together and pore over the packages in 
olpc4, figure out why they're forked, and put together the plan for 
unforking each and every one of them.

Any others?  My point here is that we should get them on THIS page, asap:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11#Hackfest_sessions

I will volunteer to lead the xo/rpm discussion, and have added it to the 
wiki.  I'd love to see some other sessions on the wiki soon, hint hint. 
:)
