[OLPC-Philippines] Hamilton Chua

[Hamilton Chua]

Hello Charles,

No not quite new :-) 
I was able to attend the first meeting that Jerome put together.

I am a software engineer based in the Philippines. I currently work with
Solutiongrove, a web development and IT consulting firm, based in
Winchester Massachussets.

If you monitor the sugar-devel and server-devel lists at
lists.laptop.org, you probably know Solutiongrove from SoaS (Sugar on a
Stick).

I have helped with testing SoaS and wrote modifications to some of the
python scripts (that will hopefully get accepted into the release
builds) that

- allow an SoaS stick to register with a Schoolserver
- enable an SoaS stick to backup/restore activities with Moodle on the
Schoolserver

Testing SoaS with a Schoolserver is ongoing but I have not had much time
due to other projects.

I'm interested in deploying SoaS because I think 

- allows us to reuse existing hardware
- depending on certain conditions deployment could be cheaper and
easier compared with deploying OLPC laptops
- allows kids to experience what the interface looks and feels like
without owning a laptop and on any PC whose hardware is supported.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Best,

Hamilton
