[SGVLUG] Soliciting speakers for February and beyond

[Braddock Gaskill]

Hi Folks,

I'd like to present at the April LUG meeting if it is still open.  

I want to unveil my "Internet In A Box" project, which is a pocket-sized
solar powered wifi hotspot which contains mirrors of Wikipedia in a dozen
languages, global maps down to street level, tens of thousands of Gutenberg
e-books, instructional videos, most of the world's Open Source software,
etc, all optimized for mobile phone use.  The idea is to deploy this to
schools with poor or no internet connectivity.
