Dear friends, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is seeking proposals for "a web-based Public Access Computing Portal... focused on content, communication vehicles, and tools useful in public access computing. This Portal should build upon the Foundation's current Libraries and Public Access to Comnputing program, which is providing computers, Internet connections, and training to over 11,000 public libraries and other public access computing facilities throughout the United States and Canada. The Portal is envisioned as a community resource for all those involved in public access computing; a place to find, contribute, and share information and assets of use in this environment. As such, the audience will range widely, from the users of public access computers, to the administrators of those computers, to providers of services and resources for the public access community as a whole" Those interested in learning more should see the RfP at http://www.gatesfoundation.org/learning/libraries/OneLibraryRFP.doc Best, Dan
