African kids with iPAQs
Old blog post recovered from 2005
Nice to see a project taking open source software on handheld devices into African schools. If I’m not mistaken, that looks like an iPAQ H5450 (or equivalent) in that kid’s hand. I googled a bit, and found this post from the guy running the project, which suggests that not is he enthusiastic about helping African kids, but he likes to put money up for worthy open source bounties. Matthew Herren man now joins Mark Shuttleworth in my classification for people that I respect for their work in just ‘helping make the world a better place’.
