I'm glad you asked that - I have just started to work on organizing an
Austin (or maybe Central Texas) Free-Net. A North Texas Free-Net is in
the works, and there is a possibility of a statewide organization.
It would take a lot of work and resources, but I think Austin could do it,
and it would be worth it. I wasn't quite prepared to put together a
working group yet, but I'd like to hear from anyone who's interested in
working on it. I can post more info here if Prentiss/EFF thinks it's
appropriate.
[The moderator replies: Please do! Some brief background on the
Free-Net model would be nice, too, so we know what we're talking
about. Thanks. -- Prentiss Riddle, riddle@tic.com]
