Recently, i joined FastWeb to apply for some scholarships. So I came across a MIT scholarship, its not much, but their are additional benefits from winning. The theme of the contest is “A Cubed: Accurate, Affordable, Accessible Technologies,” and I already have mine I’m working on. A computer with an operating system that is accessible from anywhere on the web. Well, Verdis OS, integrated with the ZocialNET web protocol eyeOS. I am including the eyeOS desktop as an internet desktop additional to Verdis. So it will be Verdis 1.2, and will include the ZocialNET. Web 2.0 engineered to work with Verdis basically.
Accurate: I plan it to be accurate, it will be debugged several times. C’mon it’s Linux + Web 2.0, so errorless.
Affordable: The operating system is free… besides that the computer is a Mini-ITX type, and will be sold at $60, that includes the OS. It is affordable for anyone who needs a nice computer, and operating system to handle all they need, without purchasing additional software and license.
- I believe that an OS should come packed with everything the user will need, that means they shouldn’t have to buy or install additional software to get the job done. Other than games, and misc./ media type apps everything should be included.
Accessible Technology: The operating system can be downloaded online, other than that the ZocialNET is accessible from the web. So users will be able to access there desktop and files from the internet. The computer hardware can be bought from me, hopefully that is accessible enough. If not I will come up with soemthing…
Well that’s pretty much it. I’m looking forward to winning!!!
