[Imc-africa] [ahimsa-tech] imc kenya techies? Re: [Imc-communication] global listening nodes to support the WSF, jan 20 - 25 2007

[sphinx]

Hi Boud! That is just like you :-), always there when help is needed to 
make the
network function. The one guy from the SFKids whom I know personally is Occam
but lately it has been pretty tough to get hold of him online.
I just sent an invitation from the imc-africa list to Josh to join the IMC
Africa list. We definitely will be needing some techies there. Bonzai from
IMC-Nertherlands should be there too but he has been pretty silent on the
Africa list. But Fabian, Ange ( I hope) and Anna from Berlin and a couple of
other people who can handle some basic admin stuff.
For now the good news is it seems Blicero gave Oloo the admin pwd after all.
Thanks for the help.
