Hello all , I am Gauthamraj from India , I am an open source enthusiast and community driven project lover. I am long time contributor with Mozilla especially in Mozilla's webmaker project [1] . I think webmaker project is one of the main reasons why I am here on this list because webmaker project aims to #teach the web to the people with the mission of " Making consumers into Web Makers "[2] .
I have done and doing quite a lot of event for webmaker especially with kids from rural areas where it is hard to find computer and internet. . I mentored a girl of 13 years whose project was selected as hall of fame in 2012 in Mozilla Webmaker project and one of Mozilla employee wrote a blogpost about my work [3] . As I don't get access to computer and internet during events with kids I myself figured out the way to teach the idea about computer and internet just with physical activities . Here is the blog post about the same [4] . I came across olpc recently and very much impressed with it's goals and it seems to be perfectly aligned with my dream of " Making everyone computer and web literate " using open source software . So , kindly let me know how I can get involved and do good for olpc community and to my kids in my community . Thanks in advance , Best , Gauthamraj *LINKS *: [1] - https://reps.mozilla.org/u/gautha91/ [2] - https://webmaker.org/ [3] - http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/the-power-of-contribution/ [4] - http://www.mozraj.com/2013/08/how-i-teachtheweb-to-kidsyouth-part-1.html
