[imc-tech-solidarity] Update from Portland

[Sheri Herndon]

hey, that's awesome josh,

i actually met the director of this ngo last october at a gathering 
in georgia.  he was very interested in supporting indymedia's work 
outside the us.  we haven't spoken since then.  but i'm really glad 
to hear this is becoming a possibility and they are involved.  they 
are very progressive and are also very interested in media issues.

i believe we also have some computers here in seattle that people 
might be interested in donating.

peace
sheri
