Re: [WISPA] Helping the Hurricane Victims
I am putting together an Asterisk box with four phones and long distance termination for Mac to send to a local shelter. After talking to him yesterday, the need for telecom down there appears to be intense. There are lines of people waiting to use phones and even the normal phone operations at the 911 centers are spotty and intermittent. It's not a lot, but I hope that it will help some folks out. We are going to send a newsletter out to our customers to let them know that we have a contact in Louisiana who is helping out displaced hurricane victims in his area and to bring donations by our office where we can collect and send them. Every bit of effort will help. Matt Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] George wrote: John Scrivner wrote: Mac is working hard for these people right now. I am going to work with several people and send money when I can.

I am not sending this message to brag about helping or to say one effort is any better than another. I do not want any glory. I DO want to challenge other WISPs here to help with donations of time, money, food, equipment, etc. to Mac or any other effort you feel is worthy (Joe Laura needs our help for sure also). As you can see below I sent Mac $250. If you have money to spare and want to see it go straight to people in need right away (tomorrow) you might want to help Mac by sending cash through Paypal to his email address below. Thanks for being there for these folks Mac. Your payment for $250.00 USD to [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been sent. Ok John I'm taking your challenge for 250.00 and raising you 50.00 :) Mac will see 300.00 tomorrow when the wife gets to work. Lets see if we can get the bidding higher. Like you I don't want any glory, but would like to help. As I sit here in my comfortable living room watching the people in Louisiana and Mississippi suffering, I have to say it makes me want to do something. I can see that many of these peoples lives are completely ruined. It would be nice if I could drive on down there and get people internet access, but I think at this point what most of these folks are needing is money to survive and help put their lives back together. It is a very sad situation and one that nobody can really ignore.

Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
One of our WISPA members, Mac Dearman, has already setup VOIP, Internet, food and shelter for evacuees, He is doing this right now in Louisiana. I do not care who gets the glory on this. I sent Mac $250. He has put out a call for money, food, equipment and people to help him there today.

Great. That is what we wanted to here. WISPA has opened the door. Rick Harnish wrote: Brian and others, I can tell you that I have spent all day working on an attempt to work with Part-15. This isn't about, WISPA, Part-15 or any personal members of either organization. This IS ALL ABOUT helping those in need. Getting organized together and using WISP resources efficiently and prudently makes total sense. We have opened the door to Part-15 and are working with several manufacturers and people well known to our industry to assist us in this effort to mend fences with Part-15. It is time for all members to stop all the criticism and get behind the effort. Trust me, we are working diligently to get this done. It is a huge effort, more volunteer help is needed. It's time to pull together. Our industry can use this effort to our benefit or we can continue to fracture the industry with criticism of others. The basic fact is this: WISPA members love and believe in our industry and so do Part-15 members! So what is the problem here?

By the way, thanks for belittling the efforts of myself and several other WISPA members. I have given $450 in the last 48 hours myself directly to people helping the effort. I would be there physically helping right now if I could. I hope you and everyone gets involved in some way. Please stop bashing me, Mac and WISPA for what we are doing.

I can tell you that it is very frustrating to deal with when there are so many people in need. I will try to get something on the website today. Cooperating with Part-15 efforts is fine with me. You will get no chest puffing from this guy either. I have already committed that I will start the WISPA relief fund to help Joe Laura (member of WISPA) who's business and home has been devastated.

UPDATE - Each of our initial three (3) response teams will be equipped with satellite internet access and combined with our mesh gear. We will be providing a Mobile Access Center with WIFI and VOIP services for those folks that have had to relocate and/or relief support personnel to make contact with family. We have lined up a VOIP provider in the TX area to provide us with the phones and service.

RE: [WISPA] Part-15/WISPA Cooperative Effort
Mark, The first task at hand is to discover what the WISP industry can offer to FEMA and the FCC to help reestablish the telecommunications infrastructure in the damaged areas. At this point there is no command central but we need to make our donations in the next few hours so that we have an idea how much we can commit to doing in the help effort. It is time to put your money, labor or ideas where you mouth is. Make your donation either to the WISPA paypal account of [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to the links posted on the WISPA or Part 15 webpages. All of these donations will be compiled and submitted with a report Michael is writing tonight and tomorrow morning. Im sure we will keep accepting donations and volunteers to help past the noon deadline tomorrow. This is only the first step towards creating a plan to rebuild. If you can help, let us know!

RE: [WISPA] Part-15/WISPA Cooperative Effort
Title: Message Mark - what is the IRC channel on freenode ? JohnnyO -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark KoskenmakiSent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 12:50 AMTo: WISPA General ListSubject: Re: [WISPA] Part-15/WISPA Cooperative Effort Rick, I've been on the p-15 list all day, the irc chat rooms all evening. There's a tremendous amount of help offered. Lots of warm bodies and some very good stuff. One of the things I'd like to address, is that there are a LOT of us with small businesses who simply haven't the $$$ to support ourselves going down there. Cisco, Nortel, and others "volunteer", but they also find themselves on the receiving end of contracts later that are often highly profitable and more than make up for thier expenses "donating" stuff to the cause. We're never going to see such a thing. What we donate, we do without any chance of recovery. That dollar we don't make because we're not answering our phone, or at the job, or that dollar we spend trying to do the mission... we'll never see again. This makes those donations, efforts, and willingness on the part of people I KNOW will feel a lot of pain over doubly more impressive. None of us will get a contract from LA, AL, MS, FEMA, or anyone else to do rebuilding. Michael seems to have what I consider a daunting task ahead of him - not one I'd step up and take on. Same with Mac, Jim Patient, and others we've seen.I'd love to donate to all of these... but my bank account has a - sign in front of the numbers. I have no money to donate. I don't even know how I'm going to survive here when I"m NOT in the disaster zone... Oh, the business bills are paid, I have my bandwidth ,and the leases are paid... I just don't know if I'll have a home in 2 months. It's that bad for a bit. But let me carpool with 2 others to foot the diesel bill, and I'll take a pickup, barrells of fuel in, and work 18 hour days. I see the pictures of these people on TV and I cannot help myself. I am so incredibly better off than them. I have hope. I know my family is safe. I have a good future.My world won't change much if I take the time and go. My business won't be hurt much, if at all, if I go. So how could I not be willing? And if I am part of one action, that enables someone to save one life... it will have all been more than worth it. I don't need or want my name in any paper, or on any list, or spoken anywhere. I just want to meet my Maker some day and hear "I was hungry and you fed me, I was sick and you came to me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink...I was dying and you helped save my life." Those of you who are and have given... you're the epitome of what's good and right in this country. You're examples to us all. God Bless...
