Hi Team!

Very exciting news. Last Thursday evening my husband and I went to the 
San Gabriel Valley Linux Users Group meeting at CalTech to learn about 
the *"Internet-In-A-Box"* project that Braddock Gaskill and several 
friends have been working on. It worked perfectly on all 4 XO models I 
brought to the meeting (XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75, and XO-4) and even worked 
on my little Samsung Galaxy phone! It seemed to work on all the other 
devices people brought too.
In a week or 2 we will be putting the XO-1s from the olpc-SoCal lending 
library in a small school at a women's shelter here in Southern 
California. They will probably be field-testing it there.

Braddock is interested in working with LocalFi and being listed on our 
website as one of the available resources we can link to. Of course, we 
will also have Tony's great Learn System with his child and teacher 
friendly learning management system, Sebastian's system for Spanish 
speakers, and the official OLPC/Sugar Labs system. That will give folks 
at least 4 different and excellent choices for their LocalFi set up!
Now, we need to start collecting other resources and exploring 
incorporating as an NGO.

You can see a short 10 minute video of the introduction or even see the 
whole hour+ presentation  at this link:

Enjoy!
Caryl
