While I'm not in a position to do this myself, as much as I would  
like to, I'm wondering if any of the relief organizations that are  
mobilizing down there are in need of volunteer IT/networking clue and  
hands setting up C&C infrastructure and whatnot. If anyone knows who  
the appropriate folks to contact if you're in a position to help out,  
even if it's just over the long weekend, I would recommend posting here.
