[liberationtech] Announcing finalists (and soon winners) for the Access Tech Innovation Prize

[Isaac Wilder]

On behalf of the Free Network Foundation, honored and humbled to be in
the running.
We'll have a couple of our East Cost people there for sure, and I'm
trying to see if there's any way that I can make it.
It's an awful long drive, but I would hate to miss the event. 

The first production network that we've helped build out is going live
tomorrow here in Kansas City. What an exciting time.

Best of luck to everyone, and hoping to see you all soon.



Isaac Wilder
Executive Director, The Free Network Foundation
