Thread Group...

by Chris Jefferies

This is an IOT standards organization requiring a lot of money to be a member and I usually don't hold up much hope for "standards organizations" but I thought it might be interesting to read re: the mesh aspect of it. http://threadgroup.org/Portals/0/documents/whitepapers/Thread%20Stack%20Fun… <http://threadgroup.org/Portals/0/documents/whitepapers/Thread%20Stack%20Fun…> Chris.

In this spirit, the Google Impact Challenge seeks big ideas for an even better Bay Area and supports nonprofits chosen by a public vote."

Needing someone with Switching and Routing experience

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, We have physically connected two switches: HP and Cisco (I believe), via CAT6 cable. One switch is located at the Server Area and the other on the second floor (which will be used to connect computers that can be used by the public in general). THE CALL: The layer one part is done, but I feel that someone else with more switching/routing knowledge than me should check this two switches for any possible misconfiguration. I am not keen on this, but I could help someone that can lead … [View More]this part. Please let me know if someone else already done this, so I can drop this part and continue with the rest of things that need to be done on the second floor.

Flutter boards beginning to ship!

by Marc Juul

The mesh will soon be receiving two flutter boards since we funded their kickstarter. These are 900 mhz fairly long range low bandwidth (i think up to 1 mbps?) boards that can be programmed with a modified Arduino IDE. These would be pretty good for a low-bandwidth disaster recovery mesh, or for sensor reporting. I'm sending this mail to start people thinking about possible uses. Here's their kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flutterwireless/flutter-20-wireless-ar… Here's … [View More]
