Last year we took part in an international competition called Imagine Cup. We created an application, called OwNet, that enables users with poor Internet connection browse the Web more effectively and even offline by providing a local proxy that intelligently caches and prefetches Web pages. It also contains some educational features, as it is intended for schools in Africa.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">OwNet is currently being deployed in Kenya, at schools in Nanyuki and Voi. Because of the rules of the Imagine Cup competition, our application is implemented using Microsoft technologies. However, this year we are going to reimplement it using cross-platform technologies so that it can also be used under Linux.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Recently we came across the project OLPC. We find it very interesting and, if possible, we would like to contribute to the project. Could our application be somehow useful to OLPC? Possibly some parts could be integrated into the Sugar interface (e.g. intelligent caching, prefetching or educational features). Since we intend a full reimplementation, we could choose features based on your preference or suggestions.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">We would really appreciate your feedback, questions or ideas.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">You can also find more information about the project on our website:</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <a href="http://ownet.fiit.stuba.sk/?l=uk" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px" target="_blank">http://ownet.fiit.stuba.sk/?l=uk</a><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br><br>Thank you very much.<br> <br>Cheers,</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">the OwNet team</div> <br>_______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel</div> </div></body> </html>
