Best Sign Of Austin Online

City of Austin Internet Services Office

We've always been impressed with Austin Free-Net, our city's cooperative effort involving educational, civic, and corporate entities to provide community computing resources and on-line access for the benefit of all citizens. So when we heard that Executive Director Sue Beckwith was being "kicked upstairs," we were ready to raise hell, until we found out that "upstairs" meant that the city was creating an Internet Services Office. Beckwith would still be involved in Free-Net, but now also be the main point person responsible for everything that goes out on the Internet from the City of Austin. Meanwhile, Ana Sisnett, who has worked assisting people with on-line and computer access at the DeWitty Center, is now the ED at Austin Free-Net. WTG!
