See you 1PM (NYC Time) Thursday / tomorrow, not too late to RSVP! How lucky we are to have so many Ethiopia edu/tech/library professionals all on the same small call -- thanks to everyone who already RSVP'd and see you very soon. Agenda:
http://tinyurl.com/iiabminutes *Thanks all for updating your Skype software to the latest to avoid glitches, as we're likely to have about a dozen (or possibly more) people on this call, and want to get started without A/V snafus Thursday 1PM EDT sharp. Even if this call is intended to be audio-only (or audio-mainly...video introductions are fine as we begin the call...for those who prefer to introduce themselves using video!)* On Sat, Mar 18, 2017 at 2:46 PM, Adam Holt <h...@laptop.org> wrote: > 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!
