Re: [IAEP] Fwd: An interesting project I stumbled across
Caroline, "What can a volunteer do" is a good general question. I have been lurking on this list for a while, and I am still looking for some SHORT tasks (1 hour or so) someone completely new could do. The problem with most tasks is hours of preparation they seem to require before they even start making sense. Maybe I missed some noob tasks, too, because I could not tell them among others.

Hi Martin, I like your vision for where the school server should go. I think it will be an incredible resource for schools both with and without reliable internet service. As we grow and get more volunteers, how can we more effectively get other people contributing in parallel to making your vision a reality? We can take this as a specific example. Lets say we had someone in this thread who though wizzy was awesome and wanted to help? What should that person do? Thanks, Caroline > > > Not that I'm original.

Very interesting! I saw this too: http://blog.wizzy.com/post/OLPC-and-Classmate-in-Nigeria The wizzydigital.org website seems dated, is it an active project? I couldn't find any technical information about the solution, although it seems to be based on FOSS Sean On Sat, Jun 13, 2009 at 1:18 AM, Frederick Grose wrote: > Forwarding to the community... > > -- Forwarded message -- > From: William Schaub > Date: Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 6:31 PM > Subject: An interesting project I stumbled across > To: Frederick Grose > > > This looks like something that is right up the alley of the OLPC groups and > sugar labs etc. > > http://www.wizzydigital.org/index.html > > using UUCP and memory sticks and couriers they are able to connect schools > to the internet in areas where there is ZERO connectivity. > ... > However this whizzy digital courrier could be VERY successfully used on a > classroom server or a specially outfitted XO laptop with some extra storage > via an added USB storage device. > > > > > ___ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
