Re: [9fans] Trouble compiling "Hello, world"

[Lucio De Re <lucio.dere@gmail.com>]

It's a shame that the SDF wiki
(https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=vps_-_plan_9_9front) returns a
missing page. I was hoping to find some way to help that does not
involve a financial contribution.

Perhaps it's a delusion, but I keep hoping to find a way to wean a
young community (black secondary education learners with much time on
their hands and very little beyond their smartphones to entertain
them) away from Tik-Tok, possibly also Whatsapp.

SDF bootcamp seems at least a seed for something at least some of
these teenagers may find instructive and a little mind expanding.

Lucio.

PS: We're too deep in the Global South to afford fancy equipment, even
used laptops are too expensive to ship to South Africa - never mind
the cost of laptop batteries. Maybe we can recycle the odd rPi, but
there the cost and transportation problem shifts to the display.

I am willing to listen to suggestions.
