November's Theme: Accessing web sites and applications in connectivity constrained environments.
Eric Gundersen (Bio) from Development Seed will be talking about how they loaded a fully functional disaster preparedness curriculum onto a USB stick for the American Institute of Architects' Communities by Design initiative.
To quote from Eric's blog posting on the subject:
All of the website components -- the site itself (powered by Drupal), the server that runs it (powered by Xamp), the browser (Firefox on a stick), and the PDF viewer (Sumatra) -- are all self contained on the drive. This means that the kit will work on any computer in the world regardless of whether it's connected to the internet, and it will run on both PCs and Macs.
“ it was great meeting people working for non-profit organizations and interested on using IT for international development, the meeting (presentation, discussion, networking) was an uplifting experience for me!. ”
