 * Make contact with [http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor DirectNIC] and see if we can be helpful with them. They are getting computers from businesses and getting the data off them and to the businesses, since they have working OC3s, generators, and such (i.e. a fully working NOC).

-A suggestion was made that rather than send aid supplies and geeks to New Orleans, we send a shipment of geeks and computers (lessdisks terminals?) to Houston. Set up a lab in the Astrodome. There are 10,000 people in the Astrodome, and I think we could manage about 400 computers, which would be enough for everybody to get a little online time every day. We'd have to talk to the city officials about getting internet. [[User:Jeff|Jeff]]
