Ramy Awny Sultan is a self-taught electronics engineer from #Gaza with a multimedia degree from Palestine University. I know him from the #OLPC community. He isn't asking for money but needs help to escape Gaza and find a job. Do you know of any way to help? #GazaWar #Refugee #MutualAid

Quite some years ago (2006-08), we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Ethiopia as pilot. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED (it was removed in later series). It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/8
