book's Web site, which will give you an idea about its content.

Christopher Whittum Good Morning to everyone Am a young man managing a cyber cafe in Bamenda, Cameroon In AFRICA. I discovered a Linux some few years back with the help of a friend of mine living in the UK. I wish to launch a Digital Literacy campaign with FOSS to show to people in my community that Computers is not as difficult to use as they may think . Is true after this i will like to do launch another program to target School Drop out and unemployed adults to train them on basics Linux and other technical parts so that they can consider a career in Computing with Foss and hence go out of the cycle of Poverty. I don't consider my self as much knowledgeable about this subject but i will like to collaborate with people interested and follow curriculum that is proven and tested. For the first phase i intent to start as soon as possible and am going to make a radio announcement The propose curriculum is and we are going to target people who have never touch a computer we are going to introduce them to using computers DEBIAN or peppermint OS (For the moment we already have 8 computers running Peppermint, unfortunately i was not able to find documentation on the web base that teach " Using Computer & Managing files base on LXDE") If they are people interested let me know because as i said this is just the first stage after am going to launch another one a bit technical base with LINUX ESSENTIAL . Am looking forward while waiting for the response of people interested. Marc Here's a link on my Campaign. http://igg.me/at/cameroon-cyber/x/5853802 |
