By the Community, For the Community: Introducing the XO
The XO laptop is designed to help you, your family, and your community to learn and grow, and to help
you expand your knowledge and to have fun. The XO can help you make new friends in your own area or
across the world. When you make friends by communicating with the XO you become part of a
community of people around the world. A community contributed to the project that made this computer
and everything on it, and you use it within a community.
Community projects like one that makes the XO are successful because they are helpful. Community
projects are helpful because of all the people who add or improve something. Any way you can help to
add or improve something on the XO would be very helpful.
Like any community effort, the XO has great things about it, and it also can be improved. Ideas and
feedback are one of the greatest gifts that you can give to the XO development project. You do not need
to be an expert; you just need to be willing to share your thoughts. Know that the community would be
glad to hear them.
We hope that the XO is helpful, that you enjoy and learn from it. Our utmost hope is that someday you will
join us in making it better.
