Re: [school-discuss] FOSS Digital Literracy Camapaign in Cameroon,Africa

[Marc Stephan Nkouly <mcsteann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Sleen
I believe the distance don't matter, as a matter of fact am also
working remotely with some friends on
http://igg.me/at/cameroon-cyber/x/5853802
And with the cyber having some difficulties i just taught that instead
of waiting the endo of the on line campaign i to do this one i can
stil start this one, not to talk about the fact is till hypothetical.
After all even if the Indiegogo Campaign is not successful at least
the FOSS Digital Literacy Campaign, will have an impact on people live
here, they are many of them who have never touch a computer not to
talk about using Linux.
For the training materials i will inspire my self with :
http://www.opensource.bda.lv/en/education-materials/
Particularly the modules 1,2 and 7 .
I can't wait to do that am going to talk with people at the radio
station now to know if they can make an announcement about.
I will share the content of the announcement.
Thanks
