[ale] Authors, Small Businesses, Consultants etc.

[Sergio Chaves]

Well, here is what I got:

On my latest Church Mission trip to Panama, I installed 41 PCs (PIIs 
350/550) with Guadalinex EDU, a  spanish Knoppix
spin-off from AndaLucia built for the Educational Environment, and 4pcs 
with SuSe Linux 9.1 (2 english and 2 in spanish).
Ten PCs stayed at the mission and 33 were donated to the local school 
system.
Activities involved a crash course on Open Source/Linux and numerous 
books/tutorials in spanish and english.
My wife and I plan to go back next year and implement: 
networking/colaboration software/web, etc.

While in Panama, I was invited to implement Linux in all Government 
branches of Tanzania and Mozanbique, a two year
effort which I had to decline but let myself available for any help/tech 
support they needed.  

I have some pictures of the lab and the PCs being built plus the mission 
itself.

If that interests you, let me know and I can write you a summary and 
forward you the pictures as well.
