Foundation
by Phares Kariuki 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Guys, There have been talks to formalize this list... The simplest way, in my opinion is a foundation. There have been a number of offers to finance this "list" but given that there is no formal structure, it's rather difficult. What does the foundation do? Simply, community outreach... The idea would be to have events that are geared towards spread of ICT in our greater community. e.g. - Build an open source time-table/school management system that can then be implemented by list members for free in schools. - Take weekends to go to remote schools and harmonize their networks, convert them to foss etc - Community education initiatives e.g. do networking, programming, Unix etc bootcamps, at no cost to the attendees. The idea is to simply spread technology in the greater community. How it will work? Well, the funds will be directly channeled to the foundation. Audit's should be undertaken etc. However, working for the foundation, like everything has been on the list will be purely voluntary i.e. no one gets paid, never a job, just a bunch of concurrent projects... More projects can be thought of and undertaken, but that is going forward as ideas crystallize, thoughts? -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares | B: http://www.kaboro.com/ |

We're well aware of Cellulant et al...nothing against them...but sometimes we like to get our hands dirty and keep 100% of revenues :) There's no better way to know the ins and outs of the technology than tinkering around. I'm ordering my Siemens kit today, will let others know how it comes along later on the list. For Joe and others interested, here's the Siemens general AT command set<https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzRNyxOjn27COGZmMDRhZjctNDhkZC00ZGE4LW…>and the more specific Sim Application Toolkit (SAT) user guide<https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzRNyxOjn27CZGYyMWI4MWMtZDQ2Mi00MDBjLT…>which is the nugget.
