Our Partners

We are working with a variety of organizations and individuals in Austin. Our partners are:

• Austin Free-Net (AFN) provides community computing resources for the benefit of Austin area citizens and is the heart of this event. Through public access sites, the AFN seeks to provide every Austinite with access to the Internet/National Information Infrastructure by the year 2000. The AFN is a nonprofit community organization with partners in Austin's educational, civic, and corporate communities. AFN is also affiliated with the National Public Telecomputing Network, an alliance of community computing networks in over 50 cities in the United States and the world.

• The Austin Learning Academy is a community consortium of individuals and organizations that are united in support of education, job training, and family support efforts in Austin's low-income neighborhoods.
