Please meet 2 very hard-working volunteers who will share their schools' digital library construction ambitions in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia this Thursday:
- Giuseppe Chiappini, IT professional from Virginia, who is comparing the Edubuntu+Offline Wikipedia approach offered by http://Camara.org - Andreas Gros, Facebook analytics engineer from SF, who gave an incredible introduction to his work last week at http://youtu.be/-4-GpTa-pJ0 Please note this is an human-centered design & engineering discussion more than a formal presentation, from 2 dedicated individuals pushing hard to get the right technologies and the right content into the hands of young children at 2 schools/centers in Ethiopia's capital, and rather soon. As such, all are welcome to this voice call IF you RSVP in advance! We will compare and contrast Giuseppe & Andreas' 2 approaches, and learn more about the particulars of their 2 schools' need in Ahmaric, English and other languages. Finally we will discuss how Internet-in-a-Box (formerly XSCE) Version 6.2 can and cannot fulfill these specific needs. See y'all Thursday 1PM NYC Time, and please view Andi's recent video presentation to OLPC San Francisco above (YouTube link above) prior to joining Thursday so we can support Giuseppe & Andi as best we can then, without retreading old ground! We ask that all (including Andi & Giuseppe) post their own topics & questions here in advance of and during the call, insofar as you can please, so everybody learns what they most urgently need from this call -- *questions written into the Agenda/Minutes below will have priority over live questions when we inevitably run out of time :)* http://tinyurl.com/iiabminutes Finally, I don't know if Lidet Tilahun ( https://et.linkedin.com/in/lidet-tilahun-62108817 who organized most of OLPC's famous Ethiopia work over the years, such as http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Ethiopia#Content starting around 2008/2009) is available to join us, but I will ask her privately if she too might have a minute to say hello during the call too, see you then!!
