Figured I'ld forward this from Slug to Plug, since it's relevant. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Thomas S Hatch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 21, 2007 11:42 PM Subject: [sllug-members]: Fiber for Salt Lake and Utah Movement To: Salt Lake Linux Users Group Discussions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hello my name is Thomas Hatch, I have seen over and over again on this mailing list the strong desire for Utopia to be implemented in many areas of Utah, particularly in the Salt Lake Valley. Many of the members of Sllug are passionate members of the community who have deep desires to see the progress of our home in Salt Lake, you have voiced concern for the future of our valley and state in your desires to see fiber optics become a reality. The statements on this mailing list come from intelligent minds and are worth the same attention on the hill as the statements of Comcast and Qwest, I feel compelled to say that collectively we can prove that ours is the best course of action. It would be a lie to say that I have much political experience which is why I want to ask for your help, many of you know the situation better than I do and may have experience I don't have. Nevertheless these are the things I see as being the first goals of this group, I anticipate your feedback and suggestions! A Meeting Place (If one cannot be found I will hold a meeting in my home) A name (Lets not follow the Linux marketing model and come up with something good, "Yet Another Fiber Movement" is a bad idea) An outline of what we want to see happen As much information as we can gather on the subject A list of topics to pursue for research validating the need for fiber (much more valid research can be presented on our side) Please give me some feedback, express your interest, and help build what what we need! -Thomas S Hatch -801-509-7004 ______________________________________________________________________ See http://www.sllug.org/ for latest SLLUG news, information, links.
