Jon, Even though this is coming from a PTP officer, this is not a policy the board has discussed extensively, so you can take it as an unofficial opinion. Probably the best way to get some kind of "special accomodation" would be to become a volunteer and demonstrate that you are a "giver" and not just a "taker". Becoming a visible volunteer probably means showing up at meetings, coming to work parties, helping out on networks that don't necessarily directly benefit yourself, etc. Right now, as Tyler mentioned, there are not a lot of incoming ports configured, so we have no simple way immediately at hand to solve your problem. Also, it sounds like you could solve most of your problem by just pushing your svn stuff out more frequently. If you want to discuss it some more, we can continue this thread more, or feel free to come to one of our meetings. We are having a weekly meeting tonight at NodeKentonStation at 6:30pm. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] -- The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
