Hi, 1) For localization, there are a number of projects. Are there applications of particular interest (eg. browser, drawing, email, office, etc.)? 2) DVDs are available, but if possible to download and burn yourself or make a live USB, this gives some flexibility and also is instructional for participants, since they can then try other distributions. If DVDs still useful, then one can get a few DVDs per distribution and burn new copies as needed on site. Would wireless sustain videoconferencing?

1. In respect to localisation we wish to work on Edubuntu and Fedora. some work has been done in Ghanaian languages, viz Ewe, Akan with Ubuntu but nothing on EDubuntu and Fedora. Moreover, use of Fedora is negligible and we would like to promote this os. 2. wireless broadband internet is available. the USB installation would be highly appreciated if live DVDs are not available. Nevertheless, download is an additional skill that can be taught and learnt. Yours sincerely, Traugott

Thanks. Questions: 1) Localisation would be of great interest - do you have software in mind? Maybe can coordinate on this. 2) What kind of internet connection is available at the location? Download and USB installation could be an alternative. Would also enable collaboration on localisation.
