Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Education opportunity in South Africa

I think we should be a little careful about how we go about this. While Sangari appear to have taken over Inkululeko Technologies (who inherited the TuxLab project), they appear to be strictly a commercial entity, with a focus on proprietary software and teaching materials. http://www.shuttleworthfoundation.org/projects/the-tuxlab-project/ <http://www.shuttleworthfoundation.org/projects/the-tuxlab-project/> http://techrights.org/2010/12/29/antagonism-to-freedom-in-sa-edu/ (take this link with a pinch of salt) If Sangari's record on the TuxLab project is anything to go by (the website is now defunct, with just an Apache server error showing), I'm not sure that they carried much on from Inkululeko. Probably it would be best to contact Hilton Theunissen (who ran Inkululeko) and ask him what's up -- he seems to still own the . http://co.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain=inkululeko&Enter=Enter My main concern is that there is a fine line between engaging with a corporation to help a community, and doing free labour for said corporation to directly enhance its profits. I would feel much better working with a non-profit, rather than a company trying to sell a product to the SA government. On 13 May 2011 10:47, David Richfield &lt;davidrichfield(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
