ClassActs Sprint Photos

A Mini Photo Story About The ClassActs Sprint Experience

by JerryW aka DancesWithCars

with a little help from his friends, both little, big, stuffed, animated, ego inflated and otherwise real

 

Discussions during the second or third day at Gallaudet.edu on the approach to the sprint included wanting to do an animated story character that ran through the entire book, appropriate for kids, teachers and technical community, on the Genesis of the XO machine, called "The Little Green Penguin that Could", it's travels around the world, and lessons learned...

This page is a spinoff of that idea, applied locally to the ClassActs Book Sprint, from one participant's perspective, with a little help from his friends.

 

Like any good story, this one has it's actors,

in this case, the usual cast of technical characters...

slightly stuffed, and some with corporate logos as t-shirts or tattoos...
