Re:I hope Bilski invalidates them all
I hope Bilsky will not invalidate this beautiful Patent Troll Patent; so these Patent Trolls will have to pay up to a Patent Troll for their Patent Trolling. Imagine this, a monopoly of Patent Trolling!

Make the data public
Knowing this projects is happening, and the potential to capture other events "never-before-seen" is exciting, however it would be much more appealing (to me) if the data was viewable. Lets say for instance, the solar probe utilizes a simple script to post a photo of the sun every 12 hours to a live feed, like a twitter or tumblr account. Would be fun to catch a daily of a nuclear explosion in the sky.

Tech companies are helping tooThere is quite a few tech-companies helping too. Here is a small list:
- Inveneo. They are helping setting up a terrestrial wireless network. Because that is one of the things they do. http://www.inveneo.org/?q=haiti-response
- ushahidi is setting up and managing their crisis-reporting application here http://haiti.ushahidi.com/ more of what they do is here: http://blog.ushahidi.com/index.php/2010/01/15/haiti-update/
- The missing persons registry is here: http://www.haitianquake.com/ (google took that one over, it seems)
- There is a CrisisCamp for techies going on in DC today. They need GIS experts & programmers specifically. If you are in the area, here are the details: http://ow.ly/WQDD
- The university of heidelberg (yup, not a company) has put up a routing service based on Openstreetmap data: http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/osm-haiti/
- There is more on what the OSM community has done here: http://www.opengeodata.org/2010/01/14/haiti-openstreetmap-response/
In short, you don't even have to go to Haiti to be a helpful techie.
