Hi, I just came back to Lithuania after five weeks of traveling in the
Balkans. I am finishing work on my lab's proposal
http://www.no-hit.com/andrius/archives/000069.html
which is due early Tuesday. (01)
I am always impressed by Blue Oxen Collaboratory as a workspace that
brings together ground breaking developers, investigators. I have
written my proposal to encourage a living movement to facilitate
"effective use of marginal Internet access" and thereby reach out and
include many wonderful people from around the world. (02)
Shannon Clark will lead our work to develop a "radio of knowledge" that
would allow people to get information on the same topic, but at
different "volumes", depending on what they can tolerate or afford. It
would be wonderful to do part of this work through the Collaboratory, my
hope is to encourage the bringing together of all manner of inputs into
a common flow of information, perhaps like an RSS feed. I am sure this
is a good place to get help with this, and we will provide small
stipends for investigators and coders. (03)
I include a short bio for Shannon, and also bios for the rest of our
team. May we mention Blue Oxen in this way? Also, if anybody might
like to participate as an investigator or social entrepreneur, please
let me know! (04)
Peace, (05)
