[ubuntu-za] hi from italy

hi jean, 
thank you for your reply.
you write :
>I'm in Durban and always keen to help schools. 
That sounds great !
This afternoon i  had - for the first time - a 3-persons-chat within the 
"ubuntu-southafrica"-course i've set up in the the e-learning-platform
where i am experimenting locally ( http://aprender.ines.org ). The nice
thing was: that the other two people were in southafrica, and eager to
learn about ubuntu for the schools where they work. But they are all on
their own ... and the real  ("barefoot"-)problems in their schools  do not
leave them much spare time to study computers as newbies.
Nevertheless i think it would be a great thing, if some time in the future
 these chats could be done with ubuntu/firefox instead of MS-ie
What can be done in this direction ?

greetings from italy

anton
