Folks, With so many people impacted by Hurricane Harvey, and potentially soon by Hurricane Irma, I hope this group would welcome notice of an opportunity for your IT organizations to help provide relief. ITDR is a 501 (c) non-profit organization made up of professionals from the IT community who donate their time to assisting with telecom needs for disaster recovery. You can learn more about them here: https://itdrc.org/about. If any EDUCAUSE Listserv community members (or your reseller partners) would like to donate old WLAN gear they can send it here:
NRG/ITDRC Attn: Tom Jewell 12307 Kurland Dr. Houston, TX 77034 Doesn’t matter how old it is, ITDRC will take anything. If they drop us a note, we’ll make sure anything they send is fully licensed and upgraded and can help with setup. Last time I checked, we’re up to about 140 APs that Ruckus will be shipping in addition to hosting them on a virtual SmartZone (vSZ). Thanks in advance to everyone who chooses to contribute relief one way or another! Best, Rich P.S. all vendor models are accepted, not just Ruckus, so a good chance to clean out the closets and hallways! P.P.S. equipment will be collected and re-used after Harvey relief, and could be used again where needed!! ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
