Tech-Head Society to attempt to save the world

Considers forming a new group dedicated to public service

This reporter has learned that some folks are considering forming an ad-hoc group, Tentatively titled Geeks for Peace and Justice, or GPJ .  The new group hopes to carry out public-service IT projects.

Seems like a natural progression, said one prospective member. After all, we’re people who’re interested in things like Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL – you know – stuff that works. By definition, then, we’re fairly intelligent and reasonably enlightened. So, you know, we just thought we ought to share some of that around a little bit. After all, you can find truth in lots of places besides tables.

If you get that last groaner, or even if you don't, GPJ wants to talk to you, perhaps even to recruit you.  There is one glitch. Group meetings will have to take place either at 368 Smitbridge Road (also known as the headquarters of Routers Broadcasting), or online. Whether in person or by the Internets, we can discuss how to develop the idea suggested above. So give it some thought.

Should enough of you express a real interest, we can begin to set up meetings via the Manhattan Virtual Classroom that can run on whatever server we establish. Check your schedulers, and let me know if you'd like to queue up for this effort. It promises stacks of fun.  One last thing. Besides the already-cited groaner, there are several puns in this page, that use techie terms as the basis for humor. Don't thrash around; have some fun, and see how many you can find..

Getting in touch with GPJ

GPJ hopes to be unique - an online discussion board without angst or invective. So send us your thoughts on possible projects for the group. But remember  Drudge doppelgangers need not correspond.

Email us with your thoughts for GPJ.
