I am helping lead an initiative for a non-profit to install computer labs in 60 schools in Vietnam starting this year. This will impact about 10,000 kids and 1,200 teachers.
As of two weeks ago, Vietnam has announced that they will be going 100% open source by next year. I am looking for anybody who has interest and experience in Linux/BSD/FOSS who can build machines, train, help develop curricula, build infrastructure (Web, Mail, DNS, VPN, file sharing (NFS, Samba), etc.) and even do some software development for student management.
I also need hardware. We have not been able to get any funds yet for the equipment save the one guy who has donated an entire lab (10 PCs, network printer and server). Anyone who is willing to donate equipment or money for equipment would be a big help.
The sky's the limit. We are hoping to take our first trip out around May or June to install the prototype lab. We have the complete cooperation of the Vietnamese government, and they are waiting for us to do something.

If they can run say a basic Ubuntu desktop, then yeah, I would be interested.
