The March 2004 Monthly Meeting

The PTP CapitalFund Matching Funds Challange Up to now the PTP has done most everything out of the pockets and good graces of folks willing to front for equipment, printing, fees and setup costs. The time has come for us to build up our warchest so that we can better work on the PTP's goal "To promote and build public wireless networks through community support and education."

To that end the PTP has started a CapitalFund drive, this is a way for folks to donate money in order that we can gain some matching funds that have been put on the table. Please read the CapitalFund page for all the details.
