2nd send: Adopt‐an‐Haitian‐Internet‐technician‐or‐facility
by Eric Brunner-Williams 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Folks, This is a slightly edited, and _unsigned_ resend of my note of the 8th. In an effort to "unbury the lede", the bank routing info is at the top of the post, as well as the bottom ;-) Bank: SOGEBANK Bank Address : Route de Delmas, Delmas 29, Port-au-Prince, HAITI Account Number: 130212988 Swift code : SOGHHTPP Beneficiary : Association Haïtienne pour le Développement des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication, 18, rue Moise, Pétion-Ville, HAITI I appreciate the anonymous offers, of money, time, and talent that have been sent me. The money should go to the address above, unless this is too cumbersome, in which case drop me a line and I'll work something out. Those of you with corporate responsibility contacts within your employers or clients, if you would write a "why network continuity is a good thing" cover and forward this internally, that could add to the amount AHTIC collects through this public ask. I've posted an HTML version here: http://www.circleid.com/posts/project_title_adopt_an_haitian_internet_techn… and here: http://wampum.wabanaki.net/vault/2010/02/005491.html The text version follows. ==== Project Title: Adopt-an-Haitian-Internet-technician-or-facility Project Description: The project aims to collect money and telecom gear to provide mid-term financial aid to IT technicians that have been affected with their families during the January 12, 2010 earthquake. Money, telecoms gears, time, software, etc will serve to setup technology community centers to support schools, universities, vocational centers that have collapsed. Begin Date February 2010 End Date August 2010 The Context: On the January 12, 2010, Haiti one of the poorest country in the world is hurt by a 7.3 Earthquake that caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Leogane and other settlements around. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed, including schools, universities, vocational schools even the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. Among those killed are a lot of technicians, students, teachers. Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, schools, universities, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which hampered rescue and aid efforts; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic congestion, and problems with prioritization of flights further complicated early relief work. As rescues tailed off, supplies, medical care and sanitation become priorities. Among them we also need to address education on a mid term run. With a lot of destroyed schools and dead teachers e-learning can be a good way to overcome this problem. Deliverables and criteria for close-out The projects has 2 majors deliverables: 1. Providing financial support to at least 50 technicians whose houses have been destroyed during the seism. The idea is getting them a job so they don’t have to worry about their family basic needs and keeping them on their workplace 2. Setup mobile IT community centers to provide IT services to schools and universities. 3. Contents production for e-learning The project boundaries: This project aims to provide technical support to teachers helping them putting their courses online or on DVD and make it available for remote schools or schools whose teachers have been killed during the quake. Data Center in a box will facilitate access to those courses by the students. Project will be conducted in joint venture with the Ministry of Education that will define the priority based on must affected area and teacher availability. The main risks: The main risk of this project is not having enough funds to address all the needs in supporting the schools in producing online courses because it’s a well-known fact that in schools in Haiti adopted their own curriculum ignoring sometimes the official one. The second concern Stakeholders: Client(sponsor): Ministry of Education Project Manager: Reynold Guerrier Project Team: Reynold Guerrier, Max Larson Henry, Steering committee: Reynold Guerrier, Stéphane Bruno, Sergey Gaillard, Roque Gagliano, Max Larson Henry Other Stakeholders: Local ISP, LACNIC, ISOC, IDB Budget and resources: ($, people, equipment, facilities, software, etc.) * 100,000.00 USD for salaries to support technicians and their family to get them back on track * 5 contents production units * Production software * Management software * 10 data center in a box Milestones Date Key deliverables Feb-March 2010: Financial support to technicians and families March 2010: Data center in a box March-August 2010: Implementation period Bank Account Info: Bank: SOGEBANK Bank Address : Route de Delmas, Delmas 29, Port-au-Prince, HAITI Account Number: 130212988 Swift code : SOGHHTPP Beneficiary : Association Haïtienne pour le Développement des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication Beneficiary Address: 18, rue Moise, Pétion-Ville, HAITI ==== People interesting in working in Haiti can send me a skills and availability statement too, but what is needed soonest is a budget that can be applied to existing backfill cash needs passed through the AHTIC.

Re: In wall switches

I love the 3COM NJ220s, but beware of buying them used: there is no way (at least none that I have found) to reset the password if you don't know it. Thus, if you buy them used and the password has been changed from the default, you're outta luck. I'd be pleased to hear from anyone on this list that I'm wrong, by the way... jms -- Joel M Snyder, 1404 East Lind Road, Tucson, AZ, 85719 Senior Partner, Opus One Phone: +1 520 324 0494 jms(a)Opus1.COM http://www.opus1.com/jms

SNMP power monitors
by Douglas K. Rand 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

We are looking at some SNMP power monitors, and the WattNode devices from Continental Control Systems (http://www.ccontrolsys.com/products/wattnode_modbus.html) seem to fit the bill. (At least when mated to something like an iBoard2 from Control Solutions (http://www.csimn.com/CSI_pages/iboard2WN.html) I was wondering if anybody had different suggestions? The iBoard2 at $450 isn't awful, especially as it is supposed to be able to handle several of the WattNode sensors. The WattNode sensors at $350 each though add up quickly since you need one WattNode for each three phase circuit you are monitoring. Oh, and is there a reason to not get the split core transformers? They seem to be a bit less accurate, but having to replace a solid core transformer would be really intrusive.

AT&T resolvers
by Michael McGovern 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Does anyone know if AT&T has public DNS resolvers? We are an AT&T customer and they informed us that we could not use their DNS servers unless we paid for it. That was several years ago and do not know if they have changed their stance on this. I’m already a paying customer and I have to pay to use their DNS resolvers?
