For our 2013-01-15 BALUG meeting, we're proud to present:
Elizabeth Krumbach on Linux deployments in Ghana
In October of 2012 Elizabeth Krumbach accompanied other volunteers from
Computer Reach[1], a non-profit based out of Pittsburgh, PA, on a trip
to Ghana in western Africa to assist with the deployment of 100
Edubuntu[2]-based desktop computers. In this talk she will share
photos and details of the trip, along with some of the lessons they
learned about doing such a deployment in a developing country, covering
hardware, software and training requirements. For a bit more
background, one can also have a look at her earlier Ubuntu User[3]
article: Road Trip: Delivering Edbuntu systems to Ghana[4].
Wow. One more reason I regret not living in the Bay area to attend that
meeting.
Congrats on that deployment, Elizabeth. I hope we get a chance to talk
about that when you're down here for SCaLE.
Your contributions to the community have always been much appreciated, and I
imagine it's especially gratifying to have them expand like this to a global
scope. Well done. I look forward to learning more.
Thanks! It was a very exciting trip :)
If you wish to learn more before we meet again, I wrote a wrap-up upon
returning home here, which links to all the posts I wrote while
traveling:

And wrote a more reflective article about it for Ubuntu User magazine
this quarter (issue 15), can download the .pdf version of it here:
