internet archive net neutrality event video link

by Eve Edelson

A few people asked me about the net neutrality event at the Internet Archive. I'm not sure I summed it up well enough, so you can see for yourself if you like. The video is here: https://archive.org/details/NetNeutralityEvent%20 Panels' advice was: call your Senators, ask them to tell Ajit Pai to stop his proceeding to repeal net neutrality rules. In other words, leave things *as they are*. That's it in a nutshell.

WiFi for homeless encampments

by cowlicks＠riseup.net

(disclaimer: I'm out of town for two weeks, I'd like to work on this when I get back) Hey y'all, would anyone be interested in trying to provide WiFi to homeless encampments? I realize right now we are focused on building the network, but when we are ready, I think serving homeless encampments would be nice because it would be a great service for people with (potentially) a low cost for us. There are several encampments around Oakland that are in strategic locations for nodes to, like MLK and Grand, Broadway and 7th. Does anyone know of good potential locations? Cheers,

Re: [Mesh] WiFi for homeless encampments

by Jenny Ryan

City council will be voting on a proposed shelter crisis declaration on Oct 3rd - intro of the proposal is taking place at tonight's city council meeting. This would ensure a cessation of evictions of camps in sanctioned spaces. I know they just shut down the camp at San Pablo & Grand, and purportedly the one at 6th & Brush this morning. We could definitely reach the folks under the overpass at 35th & Adeline/Peralta. However, First They Came for the Homeless at the Here&There signs is sanctioned by Berkeley, and we have contacts there requesting a node. We may be able to reach them from a friend's house slightly northwest. I will follow up inabit.
