Wi-Fi / Mesh at The Village (MLK & 36th, Marcus Garvey park aka Grove Shafter park)

by Sierk

Hello all, I just received a request from the people over at The Village, the encampment/occupation that was set up last week at the park on MLK & 36th. They wanted me to ask if people at the Sudoroom were able to help them get Wi-Fi set up over there. At one of last week's Assemblies Matt Senate suggested that Sudomesh was probably able to provide hardware for setting up an access point. The latest info I have (a few days old) is that Eli's across the street would be willing to share their connection, but I'm still verifying if that case. Would anyone interested to help be willing to either respond here, or preferably via Signal (my number is 510-771-7463). Thanks, I will report back once I know more details. Sierk

Node info gathering

by Jehan Tremback

As part of the new node dashboards, we need to gather info from the nodes and pass it to the frontend dashboard app. There were some shell scripts but they weren't very complete and I couldn't find them yesterday, so I sat down to learn awk. Awk is very graceful for parsing data out of text, but I found it cumbersome generating json from the data in its memory. SO I just did it with Go. Go compiles to machine code that will run easily on the routers (unlike js). Also, it will be good for doing other things to build up the data, like pinging endpoints etc. Here is the repo: https://github.com/sudomesh/node-info-go I will be at the meeting tomorrow to talk about how to harvest the rest of the data we need to build a full dashboard. -Jehan

Fwd: [eecs-grads] Course Announcement: CS294 Collaborative Intelligent Agents and the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge

by Mitar

Hi! I think this might be interesting to some. I would guess you can participate in the class even if you are not a student. Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Anant SAHAI <sahai(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Subject: [eecs-grads] Course Announcement: CS294 Collaborative Intelligent Agents and the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge To: eecs-grads(a)eecs.berkeley.edu, eecs-announce(a)eecs.berkeley.edu Dear EECS grad students, I'm offering a research-oriented 294 course this semester, it will be held MW 1-2:30pm in 310 Soda. Course Description: This research-oriented course is about bringing artificial intelligence techniques based on machine learning and adaptation to the problem of collaboration rather than competition. Can we make agents that collaborate with each other without such agents having to be co-designed from the start? (i.e. How can we learn to collaborate with strangers?) This is an emerging research frontier with many fundamental problems and in this course, we are going to get to the frontier and together, explore beyond it. The hope is that many of the course projects will evolve into research papers (or even dissertations if so desired). To make things concrete, we will use the new DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge as an example problem domain. In the last decade, the DARPA challenges were instrumental in kicking self-driving car technology into high gear. This new challenge aims to do the same for collaborative intelligence. Berkeley was selected to field a team in this challenge. Students do not require a wireless background to participate, as we will do a quick pass through the basics of wireless communication and networking as a small part of this course. The course is open to a diverse set of backgrounds. In particular, students with a background in human computer interaction, game-theory, networking, or learning are particularly welcomed, but none of these are required background. If you have non-EECS friends that you think would be interested, they are welcome too. This is room-shared as a 194 and 294 pair. Consequently, for those graduate students who would like to do a group project involving an undergrad, this could be a fun way to do that. However, working with undergrads will not be required. -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m
