It was a very exciting trip :) If you wish to learn more before we meet again, I wrote a wrap-up upon returning home here, which links to all the posts I wrote while traveling: http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=7098 And wrote a more reflective article about it for Ubuntu User magazine this quarter (issue 15), can download the .pdf version of it here: http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Magazine/Archive/2012/15/Edubuntu-in-Ghana -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
