[OMIK] HBCUs on the air?

[Jesse Alexander]

Hello OMIK,

I haven't given up on the HBCUs on the Air idea. (Thanks to I just don't
have the bandwidth to make it happen right now.

I understand that "many hands make light the work". So if you're interested
in helping to set this up for next year on 3/14/2026 (or earlier).

I've updated the project management site to reflect what I seen in this
thread so far: https://sites.google.com/view/hbucs-on-the-air/home

What's your best thinking? Perhaps we can use a separate slack, Signal 😉,
or groups.io to work out the logistics.

Interested? Ideas?
Please share.
