[OLPC-SF] What power source will the SVWUX members use? Re: OLPC-SF Digest, Vol 20, Issue 4

Sat Aug 8 15:40:49 EDT 2009

*Wireless*. SVWUX <http://www.svwux.org/> members will be setting up an
active wireless link - probably more than one - at the park so we can all
enjoy internet access. Sponsors for additional wireless access will be put
in contact with SVWUX members volunteering for Wifi setup at the park
