Here are the first buildings of the community lodge and education centre in the Seuang River Valley Laos and proposed two way satellite internet broadband.
Previous EON initiatives:
EON was a sponsor of BarCamp in Auckland organised by Ludwig Wendzich:
"BarCamp allows creatives, technologists, scientists, programmers, and bloggers the chance to gather together and share new ideas. It's about passion, creating community, and exploring new social media. The difference between a traditional conference, and an un-conference like BarCamp is that BarCamps allow people to interact with speakers throughout the presentations. At a traditional conference the best ideas originate in the hallways and corridors. BarCamp is all corridor" - Erica O'Grady
