[SGVLUG] SGVLUG Meeting this Thursday: The Internet-in-a-Box Project

[Lan Dang]

Reminder that there is a meeting this Thursday. Thanks to James for updating the website and thanks to Junaid for reserving Downs 107.

Braddock is back with another cool and humane project: Internet-in-a-Box.  Please publicize this talk as much as you can.  It's a really cool project and could use more support and helping hands.

We'd like to film the talk to further publicize the project, so please contact Braddock and me if you can help with the A/V.  I have a Canon Vixia camcorder and Braddock has a tripod.  Does anyone have a wireless mic that could be hooked up to the camcorder?  Additional cameras and audio recording will probably be helpful in case we have equipment malfunction.

TOPIC: The Internet-in-a-Box Project
PRESENTER: Braddock Gaskill (braddock .at. braddock.com)
Date: Thursday April 11th, 2013 @ 7 pm 
Location: Caltech - Downs 107. 
The Downs building is across from the tennis courts on California at Arden.

ABSTRACT:
We are building the Internet-in-a-Box - A small, inexpensive device which provides essential Internet resources without any Internet connection. It provides a local copy of half a terabyte of the world’s Free information.


The device includes Wikipedia in a dozen languages, a library of 40,000 e-books, most of the world’s open source software and source code, hundreds of hours of instructional videos, and world-wide mapping down to street level.

We can deploy a “knowledge hotspot” anywhere in the world - even under solar power.

This Open Source project is being developed by SGVLUG and SGVHAK members.
