[clue-talk] Linux project for Katrina victims

[Jeffery Cann]

 www.PublicWebStations.com

PublicWebStations is a Linux-based project we started one week ago
that is helping to provide Internet access in disaster relief
shelters. The website gives instructions for downloading versions of
Linux that will run on easy-to-obtain used computer equipment and
provide internet access to the hurricane victims and to aid workers.
There is also a volunteer discussion forum organizing help in many
geographical areas.

The project has been covered by CBS, Newsforge, TechRepublic,
arstechnica, ABCnews.com, Linux-Watch, LinuxWorld Magazine,
DigitalTippingPoint, Technocrat.net, eWeek, Slashdot, MadPenguin,
InfoWorld, DesktopLinux, and LinuxDevices.com.

Tomorrow we are starting a website called www.TechVolunteers.com to
augment our efforts at providing technical support to the relief and
aid shelters, which are now appearing all over the US as storm victims
are being bused nationwide. We are hoping that your publicizing both
of these project among your membership will increase participation and
awareness. Please encourage them to forward information by email
through any other appropriate channels.
