[Nepal] How to get started

[Bryan Berry]

Aakash, great talking with you and Avash this afternoon.

As we discussed there are many, many ways you can assist this project.
We are especially looking for people who can help us with deployment of
this project to Nepali schools next spring. There is much preparation
you will need to in order to be effective. 

Here is a good starting point

1. Ubuntu DVD - install as dual boot at home
2. Rute User Guide  http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz -- get started
w/ basic linux commands
3. Install Etoys on your home machine
4. Install Scratch scratch.mit.edu and check it out


Participating in the community:

1. join http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/nepal
2. Hang out on #olenepal freenode.irc.net , we are there most 

As we agreed, will see you tomorrow at 11:30 at OLE office to learn how
to fix XO hardware. Looking forward to it!
