Global Libraries - VMware vCloud follow-up
Hi Janet,
I'd love to find out more about your Global Libraries program. The idea of providing remote access to content and books sounds great. Perhaps we can connect at the TechSoup summit.
I'm at VMware and involved with how we can apply cloud based resources for good causes and also let volunteers with technical skills to help out. Since everything is cloud based, there is a lot more flexibility in being able to help remote locations, and letting volunteers work from anywhere too. Some of the cloud resources are free which helps ! Regards,
Deepak
