Eco-mUNITY is developing an increasingly education-centered focus. Through following the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, exciting developments have recently surfaced and been adopted by Eco-mUNITY. OLPC has recently released the software for the XS, which is the school server. This provides added functionality to the OLPC laptops, or XOs.

One of the most exciting features of the of the XOs is the mesh networking capability. For a demonstration of a mesh network, click on the picture to the left. This feature enhances the hyperlocality features of the kiosk deployment within communities, and is most powerful when allowing collaboration and co-creation.

Eco-mUNITY is developing educational content, and will be launching their first class soon. For more details, stay tuned!

Eco-mUNITY is excited to announce a burgeoning partnership with Bright Neighbor, a web-based toolkit to help communities thrive. Bright Neighbor is having their official launch party today at 5PM in NW Portland at The Ohm. Eco-mUNITY will be there to show how this partnership is shaping up, and to support the launch of Randy White’s brainchild.
