<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi Mel,<br><br>INTRODUCTION. Its nice to know you are an IT engineer and can be one of our SME (Subject Matter Experts) for Sugar and Fedora applications.<br><br>MINUTES. I hope you can share with the rest of the group the minutes of the online meeting. I know you already shared with us the agenda (see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Philippines/Meetings) so it will nice to know what was discussed about it.<br><br>My apologies for being unable to attend the meeting as I fell asleep after doing a 16km walk and fun run (I walked only) to raise funds for the Australian MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Society. <br><br>GOOD IDEAS FROM BOSTON. There are some good ideas used in the Boston pilot which we can easily pick-up for our own pilots here in the Philippines. <br><br>In closing let me inform James that using jumpers is a common Pinoy way of ensuring the
availability of power in the country. I only have to assume your power consumption is so big its running down the transmission system they can't use jumpers anymore (joke only).<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Charles<br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";}_filtered {margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt;}div.Section1 {}--></style><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";}_filtered {margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt;}div.Section1 {}--></style><p class="MsoNormal"><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";}_filtered {margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt;}div.Section1 {}--></style></p><p class="MsoNormal"><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal
