At last night's PTP meeting Russell mentioned that he needs to find 
things to do and there were suggestions to change "Community Wireless 
Networking" to be include more than just wireless.

In the age of co-ops, maybe it's time for the first co-op ISP right here 
in Portland. I know there's a community colocation project in San 
Francisco. http://www.sfccp.net/
Then we can tell them all to go stick it! Whos's with me?
