Hi, You may already know that, Bangladesh Telephone Shilpa Sangstha (TSS) is producing laptops which have a brand name DOEL. There are four models and 3 of them will have preloaded ubuntu (10.10). These 3 models will have atom processor. Another model with VIA processor will have android in it (cheapest model). I got all these information from their facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/Doel.Laptops
Now they are concerned over the audio and video chatting and will be trying to develop some program. Besides, they are also concerned over BanglaLion (and Qubee) dongle problems. Proper drivers for canon printers. I am quoting Adrian Chin (creator of that page, and a personnel from DOEL team): == 1) We are looking at pairing our Ubuntu loaded netbooks with Canon printers, because you can self reload and you are also able to add an external ink tank, to keep usage costs low. However, it's quite difficult to find *.deb drivers. What do you think ? You guys are able to help out with the development of printer drivers ? What do you need me to do for you, to help you get started*I've also realized that you can't exactly webcam chat effectively on Ubuntu, compared to when I do it on XP, with MSN or Skype. Anyone interested to work with us on this ? How would you do it ? Built a whole new program from scratch ? What do we call it ? Bandhu Chat ? You have freedom to suggest right now.... pls do. We have resources that we can let you have access to, if you want to create programs. If you are in university, and you need a letter of support, for an internship, to develop software, pls let us know. We have a very supportive Managing Director, Mr Md Ismail. He is excited at the opportunity to develop software, in Bangladesh * *I'll also need to have someone tell me how to set up my test PC to use with Banglalion. It's killing me that I can set up with Zoom and Grameen, but not with Banglalion... LOL !!* ..... == Later, Masnun vai had informed him about skype being a microsoft property now. Anyway, I felt that I should convey these message to the right place where all enthusiasts of ubuntu in Bangladesh gather.
