I noticed about two days ago that my talk at FSOSS 2009, Seneca@York is now available at the FOSSLC site. It was titled “An Untapped Channel: Open Source Education in the Universities of Technology and Research Labs in South Africa.” Here is a summary of the presentation – . And if you are interested in the talk, check here. I have also got the slides online.

The Village Telco Project
I was privileged to meet the brains behind The Village Telco Project last Wednesday. I joined them at a workshop, which was held at The Shuttleworth Foundation in Cape Town. The Village Telco project is a project aimed at making Telecommunication services available for those in the rural areas. It does not mean that you and I can’t use it. I am keenly interested in getting some of the modems (called Mesh Potatoes), and I am currently thinking of what contributions I could make in the project. Thanks a million to Steve, and I hope to see you guys (Rael – DABBA S.A., Antoine – The Shuttleworth Foundation, Elektra – Meraka Institute, David – The Free Telephony Project, Alan – Vanilla S.A., and Steve – The Shuttleworth Foundation) soon again.
