Hello Asgardians! Civic.Asgardia is spearheading several initiatives and creating a proposal for a program that would promote access to technology, equipment, and training is one of them. The name of this program is subject to change. Basis of the program came from a suggestion of donations of computers/computer components to people who could not own one or upgrade to the next level. People unable to upgrade their phones as the demands of mobile technology and data grows greater. Some are unable to get the basic computer training they need to acquire a better paying means of employment. **EDIT: Expanding for a clearer understanding of what this initiative is meant to be:** What is suggested is making technology accessible to those who cannot afford it. Yes, the Raspberry Pi computer is a great way to allow everyone to get a computer, the logistics and funding of that could be worked into this initiative. However, think about the functioning computer pieces that many people have lying around their house but they did not make the move into their next upgrade. Not everyone takes it to a tech recycling place (I'm still trying to find a legit one in my city) and it eventually ends up in a landfill. Why not pass along those older components to people in their local area whom that component would be an upgrade? An old laptop that has been sitting on a shelf after the newest one has been purchased could go to someone who desperately needs a laptop to do some consulting work. The last version of video card sitting in an old case and motherboard in a corner or closet somewhere could go to a community member who needs those components to finish building a computer to use for school or their children to use for school? Someone who's found the perfect job but they have no clue how to put together a power point presentation and the online resources are too confusing could benefit from the expertise of either in person or remote tutoring on the programming and putting together an effective presentation. Same could go for any program needed to upgrade skills or take that extra step to be more marketable or help someone actually put together that system that they've gathered peices for or troubleshooting a tricky software glitch they have but can't afford to take their system to the repair place. Arranging a monthly/bi-monthly/quarterly 'Asgardian Tech Swap' where community members could get together with their spare components and swap them to help others out? Start a 'tech wanted' list for the community online that people could post up what they're looking for or tutoring needed and others could arrange to help. Eventually it could be moved into a larger program where fund raising could bring computers and internet into third world village schools or community centers to help them to start to catch up with the rest of the world. So please, try to think along these lines. Keep it simple, obtainable and of true benefit to the community. --- We would like for this to promote Asgardian’s helping Asgardians as well as their local communities. From February 1 - 28, 2017 we are opening up the floor to community input on what the program would entail. When the suggestion period closes, we will be opening up spaces on the committee to put together the proposal for the application to be submitted to Asgardia Official for their approval. Please keep your suggestions constructive and the discussion on topic and lively but remember to be civil and respectful of your fellow Asgardians. Let’s hear your voices! Kind regards, Rebekah Berg, Lead Community Administrator, Asgardia

Hello Asgardians! The first round of quarterly project proposals for 2017 is beginning. It will run from Feb 1 - Mar 31, 2017. We have developed a project proposal guide that has been approved by Asgardia Official to help the Asgardian community contribute to the building of our nation. This proposal guide helps Civic.Asgardia, the civil branch of Asgardia, to prepare cogent and concise material for review to obtain an official endorsement. The goal of a project proposal is to: 1. Identify what needs to happen 2. Explain why it needs to be done 3. Persuade the reader that your team has wisely considered a problem and has a realistic plan and resources prepared to perform the required tasks. In addition to having a consistent, attractive appearance, the information should be easy to access. It should be well-organized. Balance an easily scannable overview with sufficient technical details to demonstrate that your team has thought through the process. **Download the Project Proposal Guidelines Document pdf** ###**Guidelines** **Prerequisites:** Project Leads must be verified Asgardia Members. Only one (1) proposal may be submitted at a time by any member. **Proposal Formatting:** Proposals must be submitted in an electronic format following the outline established in this guide. Text must be in English and maintain a simple Arial 12 point, single spaced, 0.5” indents presentation. Accepted submission formats are view-links to cloud storage (such as Google Docs, Microsoft OneDrive) or stand-alone material in a .DOC/.DOCX format. **Organization:** Your proposal should have material organized into Front Matter, Main Body and Supporting Documents. **Deadline:** Submission rounds occur each quarter of the year. Completed proposals must be submitted by the END date of each round. Proposals received after this date will be entered into the next round. Documents must be emailed to adminteam@asgardia.space with a subject of “Proposal: (title).” **Response:** Endorsements will be announced in the months following the submission deadline. Projects requiring funding may require longer deliberation time. Proposals not meeting these guidelines will be returned or rejected at the discretion of the reviewers. Let's get to work Asgardians! Kind regards, Rebekah Berg, Lead Community Administrator, Asgardia

If you read the strange article, you see that there is no typographical error because its author wrote "150 millions", not 150 000 000. Referring to the first annoncement of Asgardia project at 12.10.2016 by Igor Ashurbeili, who never spoke about such strange numbers.

Jun 13, 17 / Can 24, 01 09:28 UTC

I'd suggest the vast numbers to be a typographical error - remove a few zero and it's about right for current population, when that was written. Maybe it's possibly accounting for numbers that are predicted for by the time it's feasible to begin construction on such facilities, it's unlikley to ...
