<div>Hackers For charrity is a great organization. I've been involved with them for about a year now, and know about them for a bit longer. Johnny and his family & team are in Africia working on putting computer labs in schools. Now they are working on a cyber cafe as a way of raising money and training locals.<br>

<div>The biggest concern AHTIC (the IX in Port au Prince) had a couple days ago was fuel... they are backhauling on microwave to the DR, and they were concerned that their generators would run out of diesel, since the fuel infrastructure is damaged/being redirected to humanitarian causes.</div>

<div>There are capable telecoms people on the ground (still), but until power infrastructure is restored, I think that will be the limiting factor w.r.t. such infrastructure.<br><br></div>

<div> I do not know of a hackerspace centric group, but I do I know of a crew from Philadelphia going down that need some comm. help, and medical folks. I can connect anyone who is interested in getting involved that has those skills.<br>
<br>I've been trying to find info on Ham operation in emergency situations, and related resources (email by radio, etc), and am willing to hear suggestions/links/info if folks have them.<br><br>hack on,<br>- Far McKon<br>
