Apparently, Thaths (Sudhakar Chandrasekaran) who volunteered for 'VSO'
and  went to  Kenya to  teach kids,  used cheap  hardware and  built a
'bicycle' powered computer that charges while one pedals to school and
lets one work in school using the charged battery.

I doubt if he stilll has the time / "energy" (read: FreeSoftwareEnthu)
to talk to fsug-bangalore about it, but if you guys can promise a good
head count on some saturday / sunday,  I will try and pull him for the
talk :) Of course, no promises from my side. :)

cheers,
