[Chapter-delegates] Open Source and Open Hardware

[Glenn McKnight]

Hi All

On yesterday's  call  one of the questions  was by myself on the
relationship of  ISOC and IEEE and another was on  Open Hardware

Unfortunately,  Sally didn't ask me for any clarification and she assumed
only one very narrow  track within IEEE

Since  2008 I have been working on the IEEE Toronto Chapter ,  Global
Humanitarian Technology Challenge,  IEEE SIGHT,  IEEE  Canada HIC and the
International Humanitarian Technology Challenge

All of these efforts  have three  main UN  technology challenges
1.  Reliable  Electricity
2. Data  Connectivity
3.  Patient Records

All using an Open Source and an Open Hardware  approach which was the
 second person's  question.

Here is  details on the Open Source  Design details  which will be  held at
the Ottawa  May 31st   IHTC

If anyone is  interested in these  topics  please contact me
