Dear colleagues,

You may have heard of the Google Fiber for Communities Initiative
in which Google will select locations to deploy optical fiber
for high-speed Internet access to homes. Google has issued
a Request for Information (RFI) and solicits nominations here:

http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/ .

Baltimore ACM has endorsed a grass-roots initiative to bring
Google fiber to Baltimore called "bmorefiber":

http://www.bmorefiber.com/ .

If you would like to help the effort, there is something you can
do, no matter how busy your schedule is.

BACM is supporting the "bmorefiber" initiative to bring Google fiber to Baltimore.
Please visit http://www.bmorefiber.com/ to show your support. Contact Emil
at volcheck@acm.org if you're interested in helping out. We're contacting
community associations to offer them help in submitting a response to the
Google RFI.

BACM is delighted to host a presentation
on the Maryland Cybersecurity Initiative,
Wednesday, April 14, at the National
Electronics Museum. Official announcement
will appear shortly.
