Greetings, It's been a while since I've checked back in with HacDc, and I'm impressed with the progress Byzantium has made. There's a tech challenge <http://thetechchallenge.org/#!inflow> from www.humanityunited.org. and USAID opening in Feburary that a few of you might be interested in. Here's the problem description.: During acute crises, vulnerable populations are often *cut off from

critical information* and *have limited, if any, ability to communicate*inside or outside of their communities. While there are a number of existing efforts aimed at *improving information flow* in these contexts, many focus on the *outflow of information* from communities or rely too heavily on *existing communications infrastructure* or *basic literacy*.

Which basically sounds close enough to Byzantium to be worth applying for. Let me know if anyone has interest. Some side questions for the tech folks: Does Byzantium work across non WiFi IP stacks? Would it be reasonable to attach it to Packet Radio over HAM radio?
