Tony Anderson

Deployment on a Disk (DoD)

Workshop

I will bring the essential equipment the disk. I will also have sample school servers, routers, and laptops.

I will have a prototype of the Deployment on a Disk. The disk has all of the software and content needed to complete a deployment. The workshop will be similar to those provided to new users at a deployment. The workshop can be adapted to the audience and the sessions preceding it. A similar workshop is planned at deployments in Rwanda and Lesotho in December.
