Muniwireless: IDRC funds project to teach Wi-Fi implementers in Africa Archives<\/a><\/p>\n

If MuniWireless can report it, then so can I.
\nWe, as part of a consortium consisting of a number of teams working with wireless in development, have just gotten IDRC funding for a joint wireless curriculum project.
\nThe object of the project is to develop training materials and courseware under an open license. The goal is obviously to join forces with others in this area to produce the best possible material and to get it into the hands of trainers in the developing world. We’ll be working on this material for the next 6 months or so, and will be testing it on our wireless roadshow<\/a> as well as at the, hopefully, kickass FreiFunk SunnerConvention<\/a> in Rural Denmark in early september.<\/p>\n

This funding marks the 3rd time in the past 8 months we have gotten funding for a project that we are involved in. The other 2 being the Wireless Roadshow and the Wireless 4 Development workshops at the above-mentioned SummerConvention.<\/p>\n

After 2 years of trying this feels really exciting, as if we are on a roll….
\nThe International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has funded a proposal submitted by the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) to teach Wi-Fi implementers and programmers in Africa. CUWiN is working with the Association for Progressive Communications, Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure Multinationale des T\u00e9l\u00e9communications, and wire.less.dk, a Danish wireless consulting company on this project. They received US$225,000 for the period July 2004 to June 2006.<\/bq><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
