[lugm.org] Raspberry Pi Party with JCI

[Irshaad Abdool]

Hi there,
- Yes i can join in a meeting if need arises. 
I have a suggestion, I hope that it can help. We can target some 'poor' regions with no access to computers (as such) and no goo access to education, and set up 'education centers'. Here's a little mock-up of what I am talking about; http://pi.worldpossible.org/We will be needing some more gears; screens, keyboards n mice, networking stuffs n ol. That can both help to have a little understand of the Pi platform and also move towards a 'social responsibility' contribution.

Regards,Irshaad

Hello folks,

As discussed during previous meetups we have a collaborative project with JCI City Plus. The latter has received a donation of 30 Raspberry Pis & need help with Linux installs.

I visited them yesterday along with Jagveer Loky, Yog Ujhoodha and Nitin Bachraz. A first reconnaissance was made & we deployed Raspbian on 3 Pis. They actually received a complete Pi kit with the RPi, 8Gb SD-Card loaded with NOOBS and a Pi casing.


Yog & Jagveer have volunteered to produce educational content using GCompris. Nayar should be joining them if I'm not wrong (can you please confirm Nayar?).

We have another meeting in 2 weeks time where we shall discuss contents of an MoU between JCI & LUGM regarding the project and various stakeholders. Who would like to join in for the meeting? Let me know & we shall plan it accordingly.


Anybody else who's got ideas useful for this project, please shoot.
