It would be impossible to say. As you may see, there are about 100 people logged into that particular OpSyria channel today, but there are a few other similar channels existing on other servers and, beyond that, an unknown number of other activists with Anonymous, Telecomix, and my group Project PM who are involved in various ways. There's no center to the operation; no one person knows everything that's going on, and even in these IRC channels, much of the work is going on via private message, which means that Syrian cyber police can't effectively assess what may be coming.

thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.

where are you based these days? I'm guessing that a chat over the phone would be the easiest to set up - whats your schedule look like over the next few days?

thanks again!!
