Hello all,

The below mention of Cybersalon reminded me that it is about time I
brought some of you wonderful wsfii people into the Caracas Trollparty
loop...

15 of us are flying out to Venezuela during wsf to help with a
recycle/linux install-fest, open wireless networks, free software
workshops, asterik voip, streaming media etc. Lot of different FIIs,
basically ;)

See http://caracas.trollparty.org/roadmap for some more details.

Come and chat with us on irc://irc.freenode.net/#trollparty

Those interested in contributing should join the list too:
http://ml.nguild.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/caracas

Be great to get some input from you lot :)

Thanks!

Josef
