Resuming Sudo Mesh

by Andrew R Gross

Hey, I want to plan a Sudo Mesh event. I'd like to get folks together, review all the existing materials and spitball ideas for what we'd like to do with Sudo Mesh. I want to be upfront: I know Sudo Mesh was developed by a lot of smart people through a lot of hard work, and I don't want to deny them their due or agency over this project. So if someone -- anyone -- who has worked on this before I showed up wants to guide the next steps, I would love that. To start with, I'm wondering how many … [View More]

Re: mesh Digest, Vol 119, Issue 4

Andrew, I apologize if you haven't gotten the response that you desire, there are so many communication channels available to us, that it's likely many don't want to respond to your request via the email list. Regardless, despite your claims SudoMesh is not an inactive project. As a distributed project, Marc probably just doesn't feel like he should be making unanimous decisions for the rest of the community. I doubt you hurt Marc's feelings, but more failed to understand his response: … [View More]meeting are normally Tuesday nights at Omni Commons (where Sudoroom is located). If you come to Sudoroom's Hardware Hack night, most of the Sudomesh folks will be there talking about Disaster Radio, a node mount for the Sudomesh network, or our contributions to DWeb camp's Mesh network that is coming up soon. If you're looking for a Newbie night, this is still probably your best bet. As most folks don't have the bandwidth to commit to another night. If Tuesday night doesn't work for you, and you know of a lot of other folks that are new to ad-hoc mesh networks that would be interested feel free to suggest something, I'm sure that it can be worked out, but again, attention is a limited resource in most folk's lives.

Mesh / Network equipment for DWeb Camp

by Mai Ishikawa Sutton

For those who don't know me, I used to be involved in Sudo Mesh/People's Open between 2017-2020 until the pandemic kind of slowed everything down. I'm writing because I'm one of the core organizers of DWeb Camp, an event organized by the Internet Archive about building a better, more decentralized web. This year it's happening for the third time this June 21-25, 2023 in Mendocino at Camp Navarro: https://dwebcamp.org/ We've always had a … [View More]
