C.L.T.C

From it's earliest beginnings in 1997, the Free Range Network's development of the CLTC Project had one goal – to develop a mobile platform to teach grassroots community activists the benefits of using computers to assist their work. The project was successful – in fact, far more successful than we anticipated as it's designers have since worked on projects in Eastern Europe and the Caribbean that are based on the CLTC model, and the ideas in the CLTC system have been replicated by other groups in Africa, South America and Asia.

Now the first phase of that project is at an end – we've made our original model work, and the equipment we put together to run the first phase has now reached the end of its life. So, now we're beginning to look forward to a new project, CLTC-II. We'll also be organising occasional events over the intervening period to promote the benefits of Gnu/Linux and free/open source software, and working with the electrohippie collective on a campaign to highlight the threat to the free use of computers from "closed" software – such as Microsoft's new Vista operating system.

Whilst we await that project to get underway, we're maintaining the information and documentation produced by the phase-I project online
