These one day classes make a gigantic difference in making people feel more confident about riding in the road, which makes riding your bike a million times more fun. You'll learn how to safely navigate in traffic, repair a flat tire, techniques to avoid a crash and learn about New Jersey bike laws. This class meets at the Morristown Town Hall Senior Center at 8:30 am and then heads outside to a nearby parking lot in the afternoon for practicing and perfecting your riding style. The class winds up with a group bike ride with your certified cycling instructors.

the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They

are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that

can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated

a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze
 +
part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often
 +
common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile

phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is

'Practitioner Session' Janastu Poster at DEV 2013, Bangalore

Ongoing Janastu activities that are of potential interest to DEV'13

This page is an elaboration of the poster at http://janastu.org/dev2013.pdf

Alipi

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson. 

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts.

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.
