Hi all, I have a quick request that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm working on a deployment in Eastern Nigeria until the end of the month and I'm working on a solution to the electricity problem. By this, I don't mean the large problem of how do we supply enough power to support 100 XO's, an XS, access points, and VSAT. I've been working on that problem for months :).
However, I have a vague memory of coming across pictures of (and perhaps even plans for) a secure (i.e. locking) cabinet for storing and safely charging XO's. We would like to minimize the risk of both electric shock and theft at our school. However, since arriving here I have literally spent a few hours scouring the internet for this resource and I am beginning to think that I imagined it. I did manage to find Ram's plan's for OLE Nepal's cabinets, but we have different requirements. Charging Laptops, not Electrocuting Kids: The XO Charging Rack: http://blog.olenepal.org/index.php/archives/254 I believe that Nepal is a predominately Buddhist country. My experience has been that people just don't steal things in Buddhist countries. Nigeria is not a Buddhist country. We need security. I had all but given up and decided to just use Ram's design as a starting point and improvise the security portion when I realized that there is a huge community of people who might be able to help me! Anyone have any hot tips for me? They'd be much appreciated! Thanks, and best from Jimeta, Nigeria! -Dan
