Social startup “Grandma-Online” - results, thanks, and plans for the future

Last year (April 2009) I wrote about the St. Petersburg project “Grandma Online”, in which I myself participate. The project is dedicated to free education of pensioners, veterans, blockade and disabled people in computer literacy. Whoever is not familiar with it, can listen to an interview with Echo of Moscow radio and watch a video report of the Vesti channel . For a long time I have not shared the news and information about him, and now I correct this omission. The project is alive and moving. Thanks to the readers of Habr, and many other people and organizations that responded, by the end of 2009 we brought the number of classes to 12, by November 2010 - to 21, and we will try to bring to the end of December up to 30, and we managed to train by now Thousands of pensioners and veterans. More detailed statistics can be viewed on our website in the section "News / Project News / Annual Report for 2010 ". Thank you very much to everyone who helped us!

But we are trying to develop the project not only extensively, and in connection with this we decided to hold a forum-exhibition of innovative technologies for the elderly and people with a special social status. There, we and other companies specializing in various technologies, including computer technologies, will share our experiences. If anyone wants to see us offline, ask around, join the team - welcome to December 2 and 3, 2010 from 10:00 to 18:00 at the Central Museum of Communications in St. Petersburg. The exhibition, like our entire project, is free. I hope that it will be possible to make a sightseeing tour of it, and share with habrovchanami information about interesting developments. All the necessary information can be viewed on the site socialnyforum.ru , find out in the office by phone +7 (812) 317-85-53, well, ask in the comments. We invite everyone!

UPD: I thought the night, and decided to move the topic to “Startups” - after all , they wrote about it last year .

And traditionally, we will not abandon the help of computer components and personal actions. There are only more veterans and retirees who want to master the computer, we also began to set off premises other than the example of last year, so that the system administrators and those who want to teach, in general, everyone who is ready to help with anything will be welcomed by us with joy. For example, we have classes in almost all districts of the city, and in some not one at a time, but there is not enough time and energy in the technical department to maintain them, so sysadmins living next to the classes and ready to look every two to three weeks for prevention, we are very help out. Any advice and suggestions are also accepted. You can look at additional information on our website in the section “Project / Assistance to the Project”, or simply write a comment with a question, write a letter to aiv-s-pb@yandex.ru , call +7 (812) 317-85-53. If for some reason you could not get through or get an answer by e-mail, you can contact me directly: +7 (950) 022-56-77, babushkaonline@gmail.com , Vladimir. By the way, on the forum on December 2-3, we would be very helpful to the help of system administrators - to watch a lot during his work, as there will be several platforms for performance, and in case of some failures we can simply not have time to quickly deal with the problems.

In general, there is still a lot of information that I would like to share, and if you are interested in this topic, there is a newsletter subscription form on the left side of our website . Join in!

PS in small print on my own behalf: we have a lot of classes, computers, too, and we can’t handle them manually by pulling them around the rooms. In this regard, I appeal with a request - if someone rusts an unnecessary car such as a Zhiguli “four” or a UAZ “loaf” (to fit more computers) in repair state, then we will be very grateful for the opportunity to alleviate our transportation problems. There are a lot of abandoned cars on the roadsides of the city - why should they be wasted.

PPS: maybe it’s worth transferring information to a blog like “I am promoting” or “Startups”?
