Hello, My name is Todd Kelsey.
I am trying to help a new acquaintance, and am providing some pro bono advice on marketing/communication, getting the message out - something pretty nifty, Gnuveau Networks has a solar powered Internet downlink and terminal server setup - seems to be pretty well engineered, and has been tested on the ground. There's open source software components, but then there's the hardware too - so I guess I'm searching for an open source hardware conservancy -- does such a thing exist? Brave new world for me. I wondered if one of you wise Jedi masters could suggest whether a software conservancy would be ok? Here is a nice article that came up on linux.com 11-4, which has a nice overview: http://www.linux.com/feature/151362 And here's the "main" web page: http://gnuveau.net/ They set up a wordpress instance for me at www.solarnetone.org, just to get some messaging going to supplement the material that's already there. I get the feeling like this is a very well engineered solution that is realistic and a good investment for an NGO, or NPO, etc. I made it past the first cut in the Knight News Challenge, and am hoping the Mesh News project will get funding -- if so, I hope to bring together a solarnetone instance and some laptops from OLPC -- and then I'm trying to figure out how you could do SMS with an arrangement like this. I hope everyone is well! Peace, -Todd Kelsey -- - Todd Kelsey
