“Linuxcare, Inc…played an important role in assisting the
NetAid Development Team with building, testing, and launching the
Linux-based NetAid Web site. NetAid, a project backed by Cisco,
the United Nations Development Program, KPMG, and others, utilizes
the global reach of the Internet to increase awareness of the
worldwide problem of extreme poverty.“
“NetAid launched on October 9 with three overlapping concerts in
London, New York, and Geneva — featuring artists such as Sheryl
Crow, Jewel, Puff Daddy, Sting, David Bowie, Celene Dion, and Bono
of U2 — with Webcasts of the concerts on www.netaid.org. NetAid’s
streaming capability was ten times greater than any prior Webcast,
with 125,000 simultaneous live streams, accommodating a viewing
capacity of more than ten million people over the course of the
ten-hour concert.”
