Hello,

as of today, Egypt has been severed from Internet. Mobile connexions
have been shutdown in big cities. Intermittent dial-up and DSL
connection happen but don't last long.

A group named "we rebuild" (http://www.werebuild.eu) is trying to
establish ham radio links and helping mirror documents (especially
protests videos) that were censored by the government before the
internet shutdown. If you have ham radio knowledge, or if you are an
arabic speaker, or if you can mirror a website somewhere, your help will
be greatly welcomed.

#jan25 : general discussion about the events (especially the technical side)
#streisand : anti-censorship effort
#hamradio : trying to get radio links working
