In case it slipped through the radar, please join the conversation and send
an email to the FCC by August 16th re: new regulations preventing
channel-switching and firmware flashing (eg OpenWRT) on wireless routers.

If someone from sudomesh could start a pad for writing a collective
response, that would be great. I'll have some time on my nightbus ride to
Berlin tonight to pitch in but will be unavailable for the next 8 hours.

A location that we're doing an install needs a little bit of electrical
work before we can put some radios on their roof.
Specifically, I think it would include:
- Breaking out wire from some existing conduit outdoors and adding another
section of conduit.
- Installing a NEMA (outdoor weatherproof electrical/etc.) box.
- Adding a breaker to the circuit breaker where the second line in the
conduit would connect.
This would be a huge help as this location has the potential to be a pretty
awesome hub and we just need a little work to get it up and going.
Thanks a bunch!

Hey mesh folks!
We're having a general meeting tomorrow Tuesday 1/26/2016 at 7:30pm. If
you've been thinking about coming by or helping out and don't know where to
start, or if you're just curious about what we're up to and want to know
what the deal is, a general meeting is the time and place to ask.
We'll at least start the meeting in sudoroom (https://sudoroom.org/) which
is the big space with the robot arm towards the back of the Omni building (
https://omnicommons.org/) at 4799 Shattuck in Oakland. Depending on turnout
we sometimes find a room with a little more space, but it's not too hard to
find us.
We have a handful of updates and plenty of things that we can plug people
into, so if you've ever been interested, come by!

Hey folks,
I enabled the "garden gnome" on the production exit server. What this
should do is trigger certain operating system's network connectivity probes
so that they'll show a splash page when people join the network. It's
designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible, so it only captures
probes to the specific urls that OSX/iOS/Android/Windows test to see if
they're connected to the internet.
Once a user clicks "go to the internet", that IP will be added to a white
list so they won't see the splash page again for 24 hours.
Please please please let me know if there are any issues that you
encounter. We absolutely don't want to have people unable to connect to the
network for some reason or another. I don't really have enough devices to
test on, so it's very possible that there could be an issue somewhere.
There are a couple design bits that I know I need to polish, but I'm open
to constructive feedback on any aspect of it.
Thanks!

Hi!
Interesting.
Maybe there will be some online materials.

EE 290 Q Understanding and Improving the Performance of Wireless Networks
Spring 2016, First class January 27th,
Instructor: Adam Wolisz
Time and Place: We 2- 4.30 pm 531 Cory
=====================================
Brief Description
Wireless networks dominate the "last hop" over which individual device
are connected.
The rapidly growing wireless traffic has a highly heterogeneous nature,
ranging from
massive video to highly delay sensitive real- time control data.In order
to assure the
required "quality of user experience" heterogeneous networks concepts:
e.g. cellular,
WLANs, sensor networks, delay tolerant networksare increasingly
considered not only
as alternative solutions but as parts of consistent heterogeneous
communication infrastructure.
This seminar will include discussion of methods and models used for
performance evaluation
of wireless networks butthe main focus will be on lessons which can be
learned outof the
performance studies: trends in networks design,opportunities for
improving the efficiency
of their operation, possibilities for harmonization of applications
and underlying networks.
Students are expected to have some familiarity with computer networks
and wireless
communication, be active in reading, presenting and discussing papers
as well as active
within the project work.
