Such great ideas this morning, added to the minutes here, solidifying both critical paths for 2015:
1. hacker club "$100 school servers" eg. solid-state/RACHEL (*R*emote *A*reas *C*ommunity *H*otspots for *E*ducation and *L*earning) 2. sustainable enterprise "$500 school servers" eg. HDD/Internet-in-a-Box Best of all, progress is being made on a new vision for automated pre-flight checklists, such that implementation/support costs(*) for each above become predictable or at least sane. Likewise OLPC required "ramp" production runs (first 1000 units off the line) for a reason, as CTO John Watlington reminded us, given we've quite enough disposable/toxic technology surrounding us already: http://youtu.be/DHvfJ9OmH5A So keep the ideas coming and see you next week! Add to the Minutes/Agenda here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6QtzLb6e58YKWqMf_junux2XyBRLFm31un8YLcYslg (*) Much like the $100 laptop, the $100 server will forever attract Moths To The Flame, shills willfully failing to balance the benefits of digital libraries against their true costs {community training, solar/generator/fuel/grid/wiring, age-appropriate content/localization, physical security, logistics, maintenance/off-site backups/spare parts, admin/mgmt/coordination}. In addition to connectivity/advocacy investments critical to move beyond throwaway hardware and throwaway promises (would you like some Free 4G LTE minutes for your school ;) On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 11:23 PM, Adam Holt <h...@laptop.org> wrote: > For this week's meeting, I've thrown up 7 higher-level challenges, > inviting others to free-associate reflecting over George Hunt & Tim Moody's > Herculian accomplishments in Haiti of the past 5 weeks(*), so we can derive > where different parts of the world want us to go next: > > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6QtzLb6e58YKWqMf_junux2XyBRLFm31un8YLcYslg > > (*) Their story, laying the foundations for XSCE 5.1, while powerfully > putting 3 Haiti schools on their feet, has NOT been written unfortunately, > but daily hints keep popping up 5000+ km away at > http://projectrive.wordpress.com , which is surely a good sign =) > > RSVP with Skype username if you can possibly join Thursday's 10AM NYC Time > Call!
