For starters, Charlie AhSing here in Kailua represents a non-profit
organization. He has space at his Church's facility that he is turning in
to a computer lab. The idea is to have the lab open as a Community center
for Seniors and youths. I am going to meet with him at around 2 today. This
sounds quite credible. I have to make certain that the lab would be open to
the public and not restricted to parisioners. I can't imagine that it would
be closed. This is a model that will likely repeat itself: a Church deciding
to enable its members and community by creating lab space for them to get
comfortable with computers. Hopefully the non-profit, community focused
elements will meet the military's requirements. Just a few installations
like this will create enough awareness for schools to want to be involved and
another good example for Warren to point to in his future seminars.
Charlie also said that he has wanted to start a non-profit to serve as a
clearing house for this very thing. He may have some valuable contacts.
I'll update the list later
