I apologize for the crosspost, but I'm at wit's end trying to figure out who to contact. Bear with me.
I'm the project coordinator for Alert Retrieval Cache (ARC), which Andy Carvin mentions here: http://www.digitaldivide.net/articles/view.php?ArticleID=84 The NPR's The World ran something on us today, we were interviewed. You can read about ARC here: http://www.socialtext.net/tsunamihelp/index.cgi?arc What I am trying to do is get a hold of agencies operating in the region who might see some benefit in all of this. It's amazing how difficult it is to find contacts to help people in Aid agencies... this system, once out and in the field, can help coordinate assistance and aid. There are a few details that need to be worked out, but none of them require money - the ARC is available at no charge for aid agencies operating in the area. It's a closed system, and can allow relief workers to send information to systems in operating centers. All it requires are some people in the operating center to subscribe to the list. Feel free to forward this message to anyone you think might have a remote chance of knowing someone who can use this system. -- Taran Rampersad [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxgazette.com http://www.a42.com http://www.worldchanging.com http://www.knowprose.com http://www.easylum.net "Criticize by creating." — Michelangelo _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
