I am going there in a few minutes to check it out. Thanks for picking up and deploying the PCs for the evacuees, Josh Fruge. It was a big help. And a big thanks to lafayettecomingtogether.org <http://lafayettecomingtogether.org>(Adam Melancon, Kris Wotipka, Sean Summers) and Mat Branyon for providing and refurbishing the PCs and VoIP equipment.

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My red cross buddy got away before I could ask him anything, but I've decided the issue is nothing but FUD. Anyone planning to provide Linux kiosks should do so without delay. People will be helped with or without working FEMA registration. It's disgusting the site was designed that way but it's only one site and I imagine it will be fixed if it's really broken. If it's not really broken, shame on MSNBC. FEMA registration, while important, is not critical. You can register by phone. Important information that can be provided by web kiosks includes the phone number for registration and many other things. FEMA also provides detailed instructions about who should file, types of benefits to be expected for individuals and businesses and many other things you and I would not think of. Nola, the Advocate and many other sites are providing news and information that you won't find in print. It's much better to provide half a loaf than none. In this case, you will be providing 99.9% of the solution. On Friday 09 September 2005 07:07 am, Adam Melancon wrote: > I just dont' know how you can test this.
