Here are some sites and activities which we have engaged in, in the past,
and resources that are part of our heritage over the last ~15 years..

Themed Olympus Photographic Exhibition.
Died away about 2 years ago when the owner got tired of it, and the
participation rate flagged. The self portrait section has not only some quite
old portraits (including mine - I am different now) but has many people we
never hear from now.

We used to do print exchanges all around the world, once or twice a year. I
have more than half-a-dozen fine prints from that. it was quite a bit of work,
but I didn't' mind.
Olympus-Odyssey

We sent two OM1 cameras around the world sequentially to a list of people
who had agreed to take a roll of film on one of the OM1s, send the camera
on to the next person, and send images of 4 of their shots to the person
running the site. This went well for about two years. At least one of the
cameras was stolen (recovered I think) but as far as I know they are both
sitting in limbo somewhere right now.

One important site is not readily available since its owner, Mark Dapoz, has
restricted search engine access, and I have ?forgotten where I saved the
URL

Hope that is all of interest / help.
Probably too much to take in, in one mouthful ...
