Question For Katelyn (2-22)

How is the direction for the camp going? From what I hear I know that it is going foward and that you are an excellent frontrunner for this camp! I also think I have some other information that may be of use to you... So we will need to get in touch hopefully sometime this week. I just wonder how much money do you wish to use for technology? If you want advanced technology at your fingertips let me know ASAP!!! I already debated about the other outstanding issues with David so we shouldn't be confused about any of that. Otherwise, I look foward to seeing all of you in July!

Best to all, -John Ott

Status Update (1-27)

As all of you are aware it is almost February. I don't know how much I'll be able to help you guys out but I will do anything I can. I am saying this because I think we need a status update. What exactly is left to do before June? I also think I might be able to help address some of your concerns because I have some new friends coming to my blog. So if you address to me what needs to be done I will send it to my blog and provide help. Even though I'm not really a part of this, I want you guys to succeed more then anything.

Best to all, -John Ott

Very Confused

Hi everyone,
Been a while since I've blogger here, but I've been blogging a lot and wanted to make sure I hit all of my contacts. Anyway I read the recent blogs and notice 2 things you guys were talking about the Global Trade Mission, which I found out that some students from my home school,Clarkston, have and are following through with the opportunity to go to the GTM. I, myself, am very excited to be able to go since it is mostly bussiness classes that are going and I am going to be one of the few from an agriscience class that is able to go. (BohYa!)...(Sorry Jim, I couldn't contain myself...) Okay the second thing I noticed in discussion was, "edu" is it code for something or does it just mean education, and if it does I'm lost...Please Help!

Kit Kat:

Edu is short for Nlandu Mansaluca whom is the gentlemen from Angola, Africa you may have met at the observatory on various Sundays. He has been a participant in the GTM for the past couple of years focusing on the sub-saharan area of Africa. He and David have been working on a presentation regarding alternative energy for the GTM 2005 event. Edu is also developing a project with the Ghana government to import/export cultural artifacts to the United States in partnership with the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).

*edu is also a internet organization identifier for educational institutions as you surmised.

BouYa,

Jim

David/Edu Collaboration

Hi, David!

I'd really like to know more about the project that you and Edu are discussing...and to determine whether or not it can be component of the GTM. I might be able to help.

This will require a demonstration (informal) of some organizational efforts that I might take to Elissa Hopper or Dr. Krolicki...no big deal, it will just have to fit a format.

David, have you been in contact with Mr. Neal at NW...or how about the man who markets a rough replication of your sub-Sahara utility design?

I'd like to work with you on this but I'll need some guidance from you. If you wish...thanks!

Paul

Hey David,

So what have you been up to at the Obs?
It's been busy at OTC. You missed out on quite a few good time.
Have you been exploring the Observatory a lot, did you check out the car model downstairs? You know the one with the cool steering wheel. How many new people have you meet so far? What kinds of ideas have you come up with? What room have you picked as your favorite? Is this site supposed to be about the SoL Summer Camp? If you don't answer my questions I'll know why so you better!!!!
