This month PLUG welcomes Elizabeth Krumbach, who is back in town
to give our January presentation.

In October of 2012, Elizabeth Krumbach accompanied volunteers
from Computer Reach (computereach.org), a non-profit based out of
Pittsburgh, on a trip to Ghana in western Africa to assist with
the deployment of 100 Edubuntu-based desktop computers. In this
talk she will share photos and details of the trip, along with
some of the lessons they learned about doing such a deployment in
a developing country.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 2, from 7-9pm at
