[clug-talk] small form factor PC

[terr at terralogic.net]

I'm working with a nurse from Zimbabwe who is looking to set up a project for her village.  Something like this might be useful there.

Its a real project.  No money that I know of.  But she has offered accomodations and its a real offer.  Maybe some of us get to see Victoria Falls.

We need to get a mesh running.  

This is a "worthy" project.  We will also be working with more than one university.  Her name is Jane.  Can we set up a new address for emails on this project?  

I would like to forward emails.
