Geekcorps: A Peace Corps for the rest of us (NewsForge)

[Posted October 30, 2006 by ris]

NewsForge takes a look at the Geekcorps. "Freelance software consultant Renaud Gaudin longed to parlay his passion for free and open source software into something that would help developing countries access and use technology. In March, he joined Geekcorps. Now he brings information and communication technology (ICT) into communities, helps them get hardware and software up and running, and then teaches local users the technical skills they need to sustain their new equipment for the long-term."
