Hi!- Yes, I try to comment on AU and AAiO when there's a relevant discussion.
We've actually just gone live with that local hosting program. Here's
a short blurb:
The Community High Web Outreach Team has launched a ArborSpeech
(), a new service for Ann Arbor-based
organizations. We're offering to build and host websites for free to
help groups that wouldn't otherwise have this resource.
ArborSpeech is powered by easy-to-learn & use software -- and someone
from the web team will be available for training and support.
With any luck I'll be able to stop in at the next a2b3 lunch to talk
more about this and some other web projects.

This is the Matt who comments on AU and AAiO with some regularity?
We'll have to actually meet sometime.
So, Matt, tell me/us more - is this sort of a locally-focused
cms-hosting deal that you're thinking?

FYI community high is doing a textpattern-based community web site
tool building-thingy... TextPattern powers AU. Probably would be a
good idea to contact Matt (see below).

Subject: [a2b3] a2b3 #4: Seoul Korner report
To: a2b3@...
Lunch report -
Ted Hanss (ted@...), Jose Nazario (jose@...),
Alan Guiterrez (alan@...) and Matt Hampel
(mahatm@...) were there for the whole lunch,
and Patricia Anderson (pfa@...) stopped in
briefly.
Noted -
Vint Cerf is going to work at Google, and eBay is
looking at buying Skype.
There's a benefit for Katrina relief coming up at
the Northfield Roadhouse, ,
. Funds go to the Red Cross
and Patricia handed out posters.
Matt is working to release Arborspeech, a Community
High project to allow local communities a platform
to build web sites and blogs & the like. It's
not quite live yet but contact Matt if you want to
give it a spin. It's running a blog/cms system called
Textpattern that also powers the Community High School
site.
Alan got to talking about Katrina relief efforts he
is doing at thinknola.com, esp. how a wiki page
he set up was a part of the rallying point for the
bus rescue of Xavier students, and how people
are coordinating pet rescue right now there.
Jose noted that people's email in the affected area
is bouncing and wondered out loud how to build
temporary mail hubs that would catch that mail
before it bounced and perhaps have ways to
redirect it to people at their temporary addresses
or new permanent addresses.
I though the dol sot bi bim bop was good, but
my stomach reminded me later that it was
a bit greasier than some of the other places
we had visited.
Thanks to everyone for showing up, I'll be sure
to have a spot picked out for the next one -
thinking that might be another off-campus
place perhaps closer to North Campus this
time.
thanks
Ed
