As part of the scholarship, they need laptops for the students so they can study and do their coursework. The laptops are to be deployed in Greece. They have 10 laptops that they got from their own...

If you are a hub manager or supporter who is creating and managing Labdoo events then we have a great and easy to use tool at hand! For example, in the past our team in Switzerland has managed events via regular e-mail invitations and manual tracking through Libre Office Calc. This can be very time consuming and frustrating at the same time, so why not using our simple feature which is already...

When tagging a laptop, please add also the zip code and the province/state if possible, otherwise the geolocation algorithm won't be able to compute the GPS coordinates. These are not mandatory fields, but it's a best practice to add them to help the algorithm put the laptop on the map.

With the help of Lisa from Hub Berlin, we are starting to prepare an article about Labdoo to be published in the Wikipedia for English. Lisa already published the German Wikipedia version, so she will help in this process too. I put together a draft of the article. Please if you'd like to make any edits, comments, feel free to do so. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...

In this link you will find the poster templates: https://www.labdoo.org/content/labdoo-dropping-point-hub-poster The poster helps give visibility...

Hi Ralf and Frank, We have a new project in India and I saw you have already delivered many laptops to schools in India. Our traveler is asking if you know the number limitation of laptops each traveler can carry? Thanks, Wendy
