hi!
i’m a student at cca and i’m working on an online zine about mesh networks. i love the work you do and wanted to use it as the basis for my project! i’d love it if i could get a few answers to some questions!!
i just wanted to know roughly what the motivation was to create this mesh network in oakland, and if there are any specific communities you hope to empower through making internet connection this accessible? also i’d love to know if/how working on this network has helped any of you in your own practices
thank you so much, i really appreciate the help!
best,
menaja
NodeOne earn and own hosting a micro-internet network
NodeOne was built to enable people without technical skills to set up micro-internet networks to get access to alternative internet services at an affordable price without facing double chargers from internet service providers like Telecom's and ISP's
Node's Deployed
To date over 8 nodes deployed with 8 nodeMasters and 623 members using micro-internet networks to get affordable access to internet services.
Default native apps running on NodeOne
NodeOne default apps run 100% without an internet connection enabling members to have access to an affordable way to get access to internet services.
1: Reba is a media app which indexes the web for any video related content and saves the data locally. The videos are served in a local environment after downloaded from the web, meaning users in the same network can search and index the web without internet access, each video is downloaded and locally cached. This means that if the next user searched for the same video they will view the locally saved content, saving bandwidth.
2: Sema is an app which enables users on NodeOne network to effectively communicate without being connected to the internet, Unlike how other traditional apps, where one buys internet data to make a call, Sema enables NodeOne users to do video calls and communicate for free.
3: Baaza is a search engineer built to make NodeOne users search the web to get access to dynamic websites. Baaza runs without internet connection giving users the ability to get free local access to information from the web.

Festival
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?Aspiration/0cf411bf96/5e1231dc0b/543826a3b2>.
Thanks to everyone who submitted requests! Join us and learn how you can
increase your anonymity and privacy online and how you can better manage
and protect your organization's online identity. We welcome everyone who is
interested in sharing, learning, and exploring how to make better use of
technology to support organizing and movement work with us.
Online Anonymity, Privacy, the Tor Browser and More
*Tuesday, September 17 at 2:00 PM PT*
As platform companies, phone companies, advertisers, governments and others
surveil all aspects of our online activities and interactions, concerns
frequently turn to how individuals and organizations can increase
expectations of privacy and anonymity online. In this interactive learning
session, we'll explore different meanings of "privacy" and "anonymity", and
discuss several tools to limit who can track you online, including virtual
private networks and browser plug-ins. We'll specifically focus on the Tor
Browser, which is designed to inhibit all attempts to know your identity or
location when you visit web sites. Come with your questions and ready to
learn about how you are watched as you live online and what you can do
about it!
Join us on Tuesday, Sept 17 at 2:00 PM PT.

Managing and Protecting Your Organization's Digital Identity
*Tuesday, October 1 at 2:00 PM PT*
A nonprofit's online identity has arguably become as central and essential
to success as their offline identity. Domain names, social media handles,
critical cloud accounts, representation and depiction in online spaces: all
these elements contribute to how social change organizations are perceived
by the vast majority of the world. But holistic and comprehensive
management of organizational digital identity is an under-studied practice
area. Rapidly evolving technology categories continually create new
categories of institutional vulnerabilities for nonprofit organizations.
And too few organizations apply security and sustainability best practices
when managing their online identity - from ownership of domains and hosting
of web sites, to safeguarding remotely stored data, to managing virtual
relationships. This workshop will share and explain in managing
organizational online identity, and demonstrate processes, tools and rules
of thumb for effectively safeguarding and protecting the virtual side of
your nonprofit organization.
Join us on Tuesday, Oct 1 at 2:00 PM PT.
