Thanks for sharing Bev,

this is inspiring... I imagine you feel rather proud.

Would we be welcome to share this story in our expanding efforts to promote and advance the community broadband agenda across Canada?

When it comes to the WHY of community broadband initiatives, it doesn't get much better than this.

James

Hi everyone,

Some of you may know that way back when the Powell River Community Network was started and my two sons were 6 and 8 years old they started designing video games.  This pursuit has taken them to Malaysia to present their community project at the GK3 a few years ago.  We considered them a success story, and Michael Gurstein wrote about them in a HRSDC report 13 plus years ago.  They've worked on some of the world's top games as contractors and now Barry is finally taking the time to work on his own.   I have always considered them a community networking success story because they are self-taught and worked out of their bedrooms.  So it was our idea to enable youth to do the same thing from where-ever they were in the world.

Anyway - take a look at Barry's kickstarter campaign  - feel free to support!
