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.

Fwd: [liberationtech] Call for free software projects ( and other types of organizations ) to sign an anti-patent-troll pledge

by Marc Juul

Maybe we should sign? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nicholas Merrill <lists(a)calyx.com> Date: Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 2:01 PM Subject: [liberationtech] Call for free software projects ( and other types of organizations ) to sign an anti-patent-troll pledge To: liberationtech <liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu> Hi, The Calyx Institute is running a campaign to try to get 40 organizations to sign a pledge against patent troll lawsuits directed against Linux, Android, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Tor Project and dozens of other free software projects and organizations What if your organization isn't one that develops software or holds software patents? That's OK ! We still would like your organization to sign the pledge. Even if you run a supermarket, a social network or a workers union, we are very happy with your organization becoming a member of the community supporting patent non-aggression. Open source is everywhere (from the cash register running on GNU/Linux, the server that hosts your website and mail or the medical equipment measuring your lung capacity). Everyone should be able to use these open source packages donated by their creators without thinking twice. By joining, you make a difference. The link to the pledge, and associated FAQ's is at the following URL: https://nlnet.nl/help/ It's really easy to do, it should take less than 5 minutes. Just click the URL, click on the 'Sign me up' button, then fill out your project or organization's information, and just be sure to do what it says in the confirmation email ( which comes from a totally different domain ) The subject of the email should be something like "OIN license agreement for you" from licenseesign(a)openinventionnetwork.com Thanks!

Google Impact Challenge

by Mitar

Hi! "The Bay Area has always been home to changemakers and forward-thinkers who challenge the status quo. In this spirit, the Google Impact Challenge seeks big ideas for an even better Bay Area and supports nonprofits chosen by a public vote." I think or Sudomesh, Sudoroom, or Omni should apply. https://impactchallenge.withgoogle.com/bayarea2015 Deadline July 23. Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

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 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. Thanks in advance, Daniel On Sun, Jul 5, 2015 at 10:36 PM, danarauz(a)gmail.com <danarauz(a)gmail.com> wrote: > The two switches light up today (Sunday). > One of the termination had to be redone. > > > > > > On Sat, Jul 4, 2015 at 9:59 PM, danarauz(a)gmail.com <danarauz(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Juul: Yes, I am excited that we are getting this done. >> >> Anyways, the good news: The HP switch is up on the column and its powered >> up. >> >> The cable that comes from the building entrance's door was terminated and >> its connected to the Switch in the second floor area.

2nd Floor - Server area cable done + Relocating HP 24 port switch

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Okay folks, the run from the second floor (where the public computers area) to the server area has been done. It took me a few hours, moving like molasses, but it is done! :) * One end has been terminated at the Server area patch panel port 32. * The other end of the cable was terminated to a female RJ45 connector (without a box, because I didn't find one). I WILL BE MOVING HP SWITCH UP THE WALL: I noticed that a HP Procurve 24 port switch was left on top of one of the desktop computers; but I will move it up to the column above this table, so members and visitors don't mess with it. -Remember, this switch is feeding a connection the door lock system and, I believe, also the bookstore register area. And we really don't want those two connections to lose connections, just because someone unplugged the wrong cable or unplugged the wrong electrical cord or etc, etc. I will be updating the chart by the patch panel at the Server area to reflect this new connection.

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 my old write-up for the DisasterRadio project for inspiration (currently in suspended animation): https://sudoroom.org/wiki/DisasterRadio -- marc/juul
