Please let it be known if your group ever needs any help. We do have a donated cisco router, but it is a bit old and may not serve your needs. No need to work anything out; if you have a need for it, it is yours. Come by if you want to see it. Regarding contacting me, just go to hosef.org and there will be contact points for the organization. aloha and regards scott
RE: [luau] Friday night IRC meeting, Linux for Hawaii schools
Scott I will keep that in mind. I didn't intend to "flame" but to inform. I will keep in touch and as soon as we get to that point of needing help, I would rather inform you through personal email instead of a public forum. I will try to locate your contact information or call you at Pricebusters. I just do not want anyone going to our contacts and confusing them on whose who. I just feel I like the progress and do not need a bump in the road nor do I want to burn bridges so when a project comes up that requires both our efforts we can be on the same page. Our financial donations are going extremely well but I appreciate the offer anyways. If you happen to have any donated Cisco routers available I will glad to work out some sort of arrangement. I am also trying out my contacts at Cisco whom I had working in tech. When I recover fully, I may be able to help you out as well. If our donation from the mainland turns out as large as I believe it to be, then we may be able to buy those routers outright.

I truely believe the goal should be getting open source and recycled computers into the hands that need them. I have never met you in the past so the only thing I have to go on is your recent emails which appear to indicate a very strong personal issue you have with something or someone. You talk about the importance of not burning bridges, inside connections, and professionalism but you seem to be portraying the exact opposite in your emails. Am I the only one confused by these mixed signals? The volunteer work people in HOSEF have done with such limited resources is amazing. Anyone who discounts this either has a different agenda or has an extreme prejudice or stereotype based on a past experience beyond the other HOSEF members control and is exploiting that for personal gain. None of these is best for those who should benefit from projects of this nature and it is not fair to those that have a true desire to provide unselfish help. I am sorry I feel that way but I truely can not assume anything else at this time.
RE: [luau] Friday night IRC meeting, Linux for Hawaii schools
Scott People who have completed the LPI's and graduates from the UH BS in CS. Also have acquired others who have been working on Opensource projects here and there on Maui. Military personnel, who are Unix/Solaris and MCP, whom I met on base while working on the NMCI project. I needed help before. I have made commitments and guarantees of performance. I have to make sure that I do not lose my support. I believe there are other organizations who would like this information so that they can request support or try and undermine what I have worked so hard to do over the last eight months.

RE: [luau] Friday night IRC meeting, Linux for Hawaii schools
Guys To be honest, I have worked so hard getting the donations and the support and have verbally been asked by one of my contacts at the DOE who stated that a member of the LUAU group threatened to sue the state if they didn't allow them to go in and setup an Opensource network. I know who it was and I am not going to embarrass them here because there is no point in doing that. But the DOE head does not want to work with this individual or the group he belongs to. So I do not want to cut our throats and will withhold that info. I have and inside tract with the DOE that nobody else has. I worked with the public schools in California and I didn't burn any bridges like some people here have a tendency to do. That is why they are working with us closely here.

RE: [luau] Friday night IRC meeting, Linux for Hawaii schools
Aloha, Is your organization a secret? Nothing has ever been mentioned on this list (the only open source technology forum I know of in Hawaii) about your organization, until now. It is great that you have done this work and are supporting open source in Hawaii, but is sounds like you are being critical of people on this list for not helping, when you never mentioned it. Scott also thought things were not moving in a organized enough manner, so he formed HOSEF on his own and currently has a warehouse full of donated hardware, volunteers sorting thourgh the hardware, is talking to schools to use the hardware, received non-profit status, and has a board of directors now running HOSEF. Sounds like you and Scott were working along the same path, the difference is Scott kept everyone informed of what he was doing. What is the name of your organization? It would be nice if the two worked together. There should be no reason the two organizations couldn't remain seperate but work together to accomplish the same goal. It sounds like you have some good mainland support, where HOSEF has good local support. HoSEF is a non-profit, so the menbers should not be worried about a competing group taking all the profits and there are a lot of schools to cover. This is evident from the fact that with all the schools HOSEF has talked to they never heard of your organization. P.S. - I am not a boad member of HOSEF, so I can not speak for them. This is just my opinion. Mahalo, Dusty >Warren > It's already a done deal.

We have already geared up a demo to be presented to all the tech coordinators here on Oahu. If you all remember the Lingle Campaign demo I was setting up around the time we had that CompUSA demo, I have already given the presentation and proposal and this will include the seven districts (school boards approval) within the budget restraints. I didn't receive any support on this the time I came up with this idea last summer (July) and had to wing it. Since my injury last December, I have worked on non-profit status in order to qualify for the support I now have. You can check the CompUSA training site for any questions you may have. I am still supportive of any Opensource projects or groups out there including the mainland, who has given us so much help since many of those groups have already setup many of these networks in the public schools in their respective states. All the people involved in this project are fully certified and well trained. I just didn't want to be doing anything conflicting to what your trying to achieve and visa versa. The tech coordinators will be trained on the new systems at CompUSA. Dan Hi all As one who lurks on this list, and is an avid supporter of the project, let me share a resource that may help us find schools for the project. I had a conversation yesterday with one of the buildings' personnel at Mid-Pacific Institute. It turns out that his wife works for the Superintendent of the Windward district. (This would include schools from Waimanalo to Kaaawa, exactly the type of clientele the HOSEF project is trying to reach.) He wanted to know who to contact. For now, I've asked him to contact Mark Hines at Mid-Pacific Institute, since Mark seems to run into Warren more often than I do. For future reference, is there a number/contact for HOSEF that can be used for the wider community to use? This could help. Also, another thing might be to get past clientele to pass the word to other schools if they find the lab and service provided by HOSEF helpful (which of course they will). Hope this helps. Glad to know the project is going so swimmingly. :-) Take care all. You are fighting the good fight.
