Please can any one advise on just what are the specification options for pc equipment for use with solar power in rural areas which are remote but will never be connected to the mains. Especially for schools and cybercafes but not using large arrays and inverters to operate desktop PCs as if it were mains which what I am offered at great cost

I am a 25 year user of solar power but when it comes to increasing numbers of units the lack of knowledge is high.

Hello Tim and team, we were hoping we could hear from you as regards your visit to Kenya last week. I know you did meet a number of organisations including NGOs what was your take or learning. Would be useful for others exploring was to use the web for development interventions.

Hi Steve,

I am Simon Vass one of the organisers of the event on the 23rd November in Kampala. I’d just like to clarify whilst the event is being held in a TED-Like format, and will be attended by a TED Fellow it isn’t actually a TEDx.

The Uganda Linux User Group is the organising body more info can be found at http://events.linux.or.ug and http://www.linux.or.ug
I would just like to say we are keenly looking forward to Tim’s visit and giving a warm Ugandan welcome.

Many Thanks

Simon Vass

The Web is very vast space, often it can misguide more than help for learning….. there are no barriers or proper regulation on it. However, its the most power tool the world has ever seen to reach out to every single part of the world.

As, Mr. gates said ” The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. ”

And i’m sure Sir Tim will be the main man beneath that progress
