We CAN do much better IF we are more "in the loop" and have some
a) organization and b) tools (more later)
Thanks need to be presented to Ed for getting it all together and Seth
for the material goods.

I already have some serious comments and a general plan for OCF next year a
vague
commitment from a local ISP for bitchin bandwidth and perhaps a source for 5-6
