not 'a' machine - as many machines as there are volunteers, and wifi for volunteers with laptops. I put the number at 5, but I personally know atleast 12 guys from Mumbai who would take part.
Place I have, bandwidth - tell me how much we need. Wifi network is available. Most people today have laptops with them. We have Desktop pcs in office that should be available on a sunday (need to check config - most will have 512 mb)
ok - so lets fix it, september 13-14 sprint at your place. You provide space, wifi, PCs. I will be there to train and support (I will try to get planemad, India's OSM superstar who has done Chennai to come). Roshan, please set up a wiki page for participants to register.
Hi Everyone,
The office of Progress Partners, Mumbai is available for this project on Sept 13, Sept 14, 2008. We have a wifi network available, bandwidth (adequate according to kenneth) and all those participating in the project are welcome. We have quiet a few PCs here running Linux for people to use, and any laptop will be added to the wifi network. I hope this is what we need.
I am not able to add the address to the wiki site as suggested by kenneth as I cant figure out how to log in. I will get the address and the directions to it tomorrow.
Looking forward to working with all of you on those 2 days, though I will probably only add encouragement then be of much real help.
as discussed on IRC, the prerequisites are: 1. ability to use a mouse 2. IQ of over 80 3. commitment to freeing geographical info
note: criterion no 2 can be relaxed on request note2: windows users are also welcome and criterion no 2 does not apply to them
