Hi, Below is an announcement from 2 gentlemen working at Unicef who are organising a Mobile Barcamp. You shouldnt miss this if you do anything with a mobile.
If you want to read about what these guys are doing, check out their unofficial website: http://www.mepemepe.com/ there is a bunch of projects in the technology section that will give you an idea. Off course, if you have an app that you would like to show (a non-commercial mobile application that we can learn from), feel free to contact Merrick or myself, and we'll fit you in the program. Now, over to the official invitation. rgds, reinier (sorry for crossposting) Hello, We set up a Mini Mobile Barcamp Kampala for next Thursday the 23rd of October at Makerere University from 2 to 5pm. The focus will be on any sort of mobile phone or multi-modal innovations. Mark and I representing UNICEF will be talking about and demonstrating two things, our RapidSMS system and our new suite of 'mobile hacking tools'. Could everyone get the word out: blog, call, email, sms, tweet, post, or talk to people you know about this. It is sort of short notice but seems like it could be productive. This is a pre-announcement, I will probably write up something more substantial and maybe even try my hand at a small logo tomorrow afternoon. I will also create the formal barcamp pages on the barcamp wiki. Also if anyone has any advice or thoughts please let me know. -merrick- ps: if anyone is not familiar with what a barcamp is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp http://www.barcamp.org/ -- Merrick Schaefer Technical Project Coordinator UNICEF Youth Section, Division of Communication 3 UN Plaza, New York, NY 10017 Tel: 212-326-7461 Fax: 212-326-7768 Mobile: 206-484-9177 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
