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.
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.
