[Noisebridge-discuss] Anyone got Libyan contacts?

[Praveen Sinha]

Also, don't know if it's worth trying to go to CNN or al jazeera that
both have crews on the ground?  Maybe a quick press release could grab
someone's attention:

They usually have people round the clock filtering this stuff so a
response could be pretty quick.
