Volcanic ash - networking stranded travellers
I discovered there is a Facebook group for stranded travellers, that could be a good start for networking opportunities around the globe. From their fronpage message:
"Hundreds of thousands of us are stranded, thanks to billowing ash from Iceland's Mt. Elslksjlaresssrfzzzt. Let's come together, swap stories, keep our spirits up, and offer advice for coping with our situations.
TWITTER: #getmehome #ashtag for up-to-the-minute opportunities
Find HELP in the Country-by-Country threads under the DISCUSSIONS tab (upper center of this page)
Find RIDES at http://www.roadsharing.com
Find MORE RIDES at FB Group CARPOOL EUROPE
Find LODGING and RIDES via http://spy.appspot.com/find/getmehome
Find BOTH in this group's Discussion tab (above)
MORE HELP at VOLCANOHELP.EU be sure to post there!
Find SANITY by realizing you are doing the best that you possibly can. The volcano is, well, bigger than all of us."
Is it going to be possible to start a skills exchange just for a few days' labour? It would be worthwhile for people who are struggling to pay for extra accomodation and so on. Not sure how to take this forward, any ideas?

Oh-- thanks-- should have known you were on it, Starling! I posted the link to the African discussion on Facebook on your Kenya blog post.

Found these as well: Crisis Mappers, and Crisis Mappers on Twitter, and another Facebook page: Gathering Under the Ash Cloud. From what I see, though, not many people are responding. I think people who are stranded so far are probably just waiting and assuming they'll be underway soon. I wonder if this is true?

Thanks Sarah :) It would be good to start a wiki page to collect all the relevant links up - actually the wiki could be the architecture we need to do a skill-share as well?

Created a page on the wiki for a start, please could you add those links you've found? Or I will do it when I next get a mo, gotta go. x

Updated the page with links found so far.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
