Techconnect Wifi Hearing - What do you Want?

http://www.webnetic.net/2005/11/what_do_you_think_san_francisc.html

You'll have three minutes to say what you like at Public Comment. WE GOT HEARINGS!

Anyone, Yes you! Can speak at these hearings, no qualifications, age, voting status, height or technical ability required.

We are going to setup Wifi for Live Blogging, They'll be televised Live on SFGTV cable and Live on SFGTV Internet streaming, we'll have a Live Chat Room (if you can't be there in person), and we are working on some other Techno surprises. You can bring your laptop for a short demo or powerpoint or for Live Chat or Live Blogging.

You can bring Overheads/Slides, Digital cameras for Live Blogging. Video and Audio Recorders, and Extension cords..

Pick one or two of your hot button issues and then

remember (very important) to ask that the RFP reflect community concerns

We aren't against Wifi. We just think maybe it might be good to see what is being considered and to provide suggestions to real people. Not just emails sent off to a generic email address that some low level analyst reads, Maybe.
