Dear GKD Members, Currently I am starting development for a specialised Linux distribution for use within Aid/NGO organisation offices. The design is being specially developed to exploit Linux's superior communications abilities under difficult conditions to deliver email via bad phone lines, satelite phone and radio to outlying bases. The design is set up to be easy to maintain, as well as ease the network setup by providing File and Print services as well. Configuration will be via a WWW frontend.
The initial WWW site is up at: <http://www.anathoth.gen.nz/debian-aid-server/html/debian-aid-server.html> with a philosophy page up at: <http://www.anathoth.gen.nz/html/intro-philosophy.html> One of my desires is to work on this full time as I will then be able to bring my full resource and time to bear. To do this I will need to partner with 4 - 6 Aid organisations so that applications can be made for funding so that I can work on it for a year. This funding would cover trips to the field, implementation and setup in the field, documentation, training etc. A freely downloadable CD-ROM will be made available for all to use. My resume can be found here: <http://www.anathoth.gen.nz/html/resume.pdf> Please let me know of your interest, and let me know of any contacts that my be of use to the project. Thank you very much.
