The Midnight Post, A Dream for Better Education

It is now right @ 11:57pm EAT(East African Time), by midnight I hope I will post this little script about a Dream for better Education.

It has being in my mind for almost two years regarding on how to enhance education in Africa and particularly in my country through the use of Modern ICT infrastructure. And as a result of my research including my senior project for my Graduation that is already passed on 5th of August, I have come to a better solution on how to leverage the way education is delivered in educational centers from kindergarten to Higher Educational Institutions. The big Question is now how to make it clear for the leading Educational Administrative personnels seated on the determining chairs.

There can be big Dreams, yet realizing the dreams is the greater thing in life. So My intentions is on how to realize these dreams. My dream is Better education, and better education is achieved by better communication, information flow, interaction and above all collaboration. The requirement for better Interaction and collaboration right @ this time is obviously better ICT infrastructure in all educational centers and making farther research on the topic which can be done in HEIs. So my dreams are far more that infrastructure. For this to come to reality, Today it is already after midnight(12:17am) I will be fighting for the deployment of better ICT infrastructure for better Education. "Education in the Cloud" will come soon with what has being done in the cloud regarding Education in Eritrea and the rest of Africa and then the World.I have being waiting for November 17, 2010 and hope it will be a great day of for innovation and better relationship. Oh! Let's wait for the Morning Sun and that always appears with a great smile and Love to the world. I got to come back later, now I have to compose mail/letter to my Lul it is already Nov 17.

Cloud computing Made Easy With Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud

Sunday, October 10th, the perfect 10 (10/10/10) at exactly 10:10 AM, marked the official release of Ubuntu Server 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat." It is nice to hear that Meerkat's onboard Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) includes the latest updated version of Eucalyptus 2.0! This UEC boasts an easier installation process—you can even boot from a USB stick—along with the many new features and improvements that are now part of Eucalyptus 2.0. With Meerkat, Ubuntu has once again shown their commitment to the cloud and to hybrid cloud technology by offering freely available pre-approved UEC images for both private and public cloud environments.

By the perfect 10 special occasion, I posted a blog that tells more about values with few words that were summarized from a book by Adam khoo, NLP practitioner and trainer. It is a valuable content. And I am glad to hear and see UEC 10.10 was realized at this same occasion 10/10/10 10:10 with post of my blog.

Today I would like to share with you my experience that I made with the UCE hosted in the amazon EC2 cloud Infrastructure. After reading about the realize of UEC, I found a link that invites to test the system at amazon EC2. I was very much eager and happy to see the system running in minutes. With my great interest in the field I found my favorite CMS(Content management System) Drupal and tested it in the cloud with testing limit of about one hour (55 minutes). It took me 3 minutes to get the system up and running with everything pre configured.

The very smart thing about the experience is that the system have a rich Management tool to add a server instance very easily that is Eucalyptus 2.0 . Moreover you can get up and running a Private cloud Instance in your organization with having Ubuntu Cloud Server get downloaded and using some open management tools like Eucalyptus. Currently I am planning on how to introduce a cloud based educational system with regard to Ubuntu server. I have downloading the server and will share my experience in the future. Grap this link and get expericenced with Ubuntu in the Cloud.
" Ubuntu simplifies the complexities of cloud computing. Build within Amazon EC2 or create a private cloud on your own hardware. Ubuntu Server Edition helps you create and control both."

Take care! I would like to see your comments below.
