In perfect coincidence, I have been wanting to round up a meeting
between some of our more experienced, articulate geeks, and a group of
local teachers, representatives of the local alternative school and
the Canadian Teachers Federation. The focus of this little get
together will be Nigeria, and a project called Operation Overseas. We
want to assemble a bundle of software and hardware to address a
pressing need. In the process, the various benefits of Open Source
will be revealed, as well as introduction to the thriving OSS
community. If anyone feels they may have something to contribute, come
on down !

Date; murky ! We'll just have to pick something that has the least
conflicts and run with it, making notes for those who could not
attend.

for this sort of thing we (linuxcaffe) can be very flexible. Pick a
date and time, and we'll see if the school-types will join us.
