For starters, Charlie AhSing here in Kailua represents a non-profit
organization. He has space at his Church's facility that he is turnining 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 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.
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
