Profile

As I am not quite proficient in mediawiki, and I do not know how to upload/embed things here, let me just link some info about me:

• My picture
• My professional CV at LinkedIn (PDF)
• My Facebook profile (mostly in Polish)
  
• My sailing website

My partner (wife) is Natalia Szymanska (her CV to be published here soon), who is more into educational/NGO/community-oriented aspects of the activity. We plan to be active as a team, although nothing is written in stone. Two akitas are with us wherever we can take them.

Our goals in/related to the OLPC project:

1. Get trained as an independent deployment and support team, covering both technology and education aspects.

2. Get involved on the long-term basis in OLPC implementation in Asia and other areas, preferably close to the sea.

3. Develop material base (sailing vessel, technical equipment, funding) to operate as a mobile deployment, support and training unit for remote communities, that can be accessed from the sea.
