<br /> 94 | P a g e <br />City of San Leandro, CA <br />Fiber Master Plan <br />• Offer computer training in languages other than English at community centers <br />and/or public libraries. <br />• Consider partnering with local nonprofit(s) to offer the computer training and/or <br />train or place volunteers onsite. The nonprofits can place trainers and/or run <br />events onsite. <br />• Consider purchasing a mobile computer lab for the community centers and/or <br />libraries. Since the centers have Wi-Fi, they would be able to offer training in <br />different rooms, or other sites / events. <br />• Consider purchasing a license for online language training for the library and/or <br />school, and offer help sessions on how to use it. <br />• Offer information about discount broadband and training opportunities at <br />community events. ISPs and/or nonprofits could set up booths. <br />• Partner with the San Leandro and San Lorenzo Unified School District’s to develop <br />outreach materials for students to bring home for parents and other family <br />members that promote the City’s services and Digital Inclusion training programs. <br />• The City can also develop an annual hackathon at its public library that brings <br />together the civic technology community from throughout the greater Bay Area and <br />beyond. A virtual hackathon could include participants from all over the world to <br />develop smart city solutions that are aligned with this vision and recommendations <br />of this Strategy. <br />• The City can research lendable internet hotspots programs, that allow residents to <br />borrow Wi-Fi and cellular hotspots from the Library, just as they would books and <br />other media. These programs have been successful throughout the country, <br />including in Alameda County. <br />• Lastly, the City can look to partner with organizations that repurpose old desktop <br />and laptop computers and give them away to members of the public. Such a <br />program would replace the City’s current e-waste policy for legacy PCs. <br /> <br />Business Survey and Needs Assessment <br /> <br />As noted, there were a total of 86 responses to the business survey, of which 59 <br />completed the survey73.
