[hackerspaces] hackers + Haiti

[Tim Krabec]

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.
