[Grassroots-l] Uganda

[Marten Vijn]

Hi all,

I only tried to link people (What seems to work). I don't live in Uganda
but in the Netherlands (EU).

I don't have particular interest in Ugandan projects. However
if some tech-help is needed I could help (over the internet):

- Wifi Community networking 
- Unix administatration skills 
- XO-repairing

I know from Uganda since ohn Kibuuka joined us
http://opencommunitycamp.org in 2006. He is living in Kampala


kind regards,
Marten
