Hi All, I would like to apologise to the HPR community for my over zealous attitude in posting information about the Orca campaign on the HPR home page today. I would espically like to thank those that reminded me that I did not allow enough time for the community to provide feedback. The article has now been removed, and the New Year Show will continue as planned. I would really appreciate hearing your feelings on the topic so that we can get a definite understanding of how the Hacker Public Radio community wish to use this event. I consider accessible computing and this project in general a very interesting technical topic, that I believe is of interest to hackers. With 26 hours of content to fill, I suggest that it will not place a great burden on us to discuss it from time to time. There is however Public Relations value of having the project listed on the main page when giving the address out on the TWiT network. While the information would definitely be a good thing for the Orca campaign, it would do us no harm either to be seen to be coming together for a "worthy cause". Anyway, apologies again. Ken. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSuJJwAAoJECO2jUN3MRFp4YsP/jJbvfI3hzufD59X7S3pmr1U ME/i07GiH2TgseaJ2WmJo4AdVZAssjDS0nfkU7LVJqPMotXqyzU6StAVPbxoI1y+ MraT6kLVqgIlbmW9adfJ5D5pV08b9+bSRsb2uFIa/0zY0Licmmvm7BmOzQ1l/+6W tQxpqey+ScbVTVEpyBmmZhU25cJlHf+jh41GWHOEp4U9X6yJBVDVGrzUZ6q3rybf M6huShoUeL77LxtwfcsDYJ6hWo5guREFk7QXuxHNkXpj1oqBrbzkMtKD6kYHaXxt VCXDvooI9mj2Tl2t+qyBR+DS98BvYJHdgnfYVTx0UhY5LkSFNRz42wC77Q4vwVLI gAsEt+YHXF7q5TPUmO6f+dyG1JsvzEeLIJ+Xd3/MKIL2NKjL0eQeD0tVFIYX3xpI wuLRJVUtTh7nS7+FlPWGZ2R09Vr26ewyaBWexdb4z8LSxt5CTzN3HCRMPjVnINei +4poQLopOb7MtsE+06cJ/AcCIfg5344gnzqlD0tr3OroiFL2+gUXSGGdUB12ZykJ dqhBGyEqNfmavXfTqazZr91Kl7E8K6A9V/F3yZRQ3KLdeNWvi8VWIZcaoV5RILzl 4fkNARGATFgnRNie67mqJ73IkLp5blF4yLo3da800CObvDo77nf5i2zGfe2XGEUg mixoCgky/kQ+nV+8nLz7 =/cer -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
