Re: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 39, Issue 5

by Stephen Searles

I was totally one of those people who showed up once and never again ... yet. I added a couple potential nodes to that mapping application. One of those also has a Lake Merrit view (from a hill on the lakeshore side). I also have a few routers on hand that I bought from that woot deal. I've been meaning to go to a meeting ... now I know when to go, so thanks!

Tonight at sudo room: Soldering emergency power cables!

by Marc Juul

At tonight's meet/hacknight we'll be making prototypes of emergency power cables so people can power their mesh nodes in a disaster situation. The idea is to make cheap, long, foolproof cables + instructions that make it simple to power mesh nodes from any 12 vdc source. The thinking behind this is that the U.S. is full of cars and the most medium-term power supply in the days/weeks after a disaster will be car batteries. A while back we ordered components for this from china and now that they've arrived we can make some cables and test how they work and whether we need better under-voltage/over-voltage protection. See you at 7:30 pm! -- marc/juul

More cheap mesh routers from woot (again)

by Marc Juul

If you want to help us get more of those nice cheap mesh routers from woot, they're currently allowing the purchase of 4 units per customer. The total cost for 4 units including shipping and tax is about $49.25 If you order to your own address and bring them in then we can paypal you the money! First add two of these to your cart: http://computers.woot.com/offers/wd-mynet-n600-2x2-wireless-n-router-52 <http://computers.woot.com/offers/wd-mynet-n600-2x2-wireless-n-router-50> Then add two of these to your cart: http://computers.woot.com/offers/wd-mynet-n600-2x2-wireless-n-router-53 <http://computers.woot.com/offers/wd-mynet-n600-2x2-wireless-n-router-51> Then check out. These have internal antennas only but they have u.fl plugs inside of the case if you want to attach better antennas. Other than that they are the same as the TP-Link N600 routers which go for about $40 Thanks in advance! and do let me know if you still need money refunded for helping us in this way previously.

Tuesday meeting update

by Marc Juul

Just a quick update from tonight's meshup. Daniel and Will were here and two new folk came by who have previous mesh experience, especially more high end private mesh setups. They said they'd be back and talked about writing up a guide to openwrt compatible mesh hardware in the post-new-FCC rules! We got Will set up with a MyNet N600 and a Picostation 2 and he's going to come by on Thursday and crimp a cable for his rooftop node. He is now living even closer to Omni and it looks like he has line of sight between the apartment complexes! Will took the opportunity to write down every step of the flashing and configuring process and will be updating the walkthrough on the wiki! The SSL cert on secrets.sudomesh.org had expired (it's used for the makenode database) so I updated that. We also shared some pizza and used the CCL model of just putting out a hat for pizza money which ended up recouping all but $1 of the cost :) -- marc/juul

Fwd: [internet-freedom] Murmur (formerly Rangzen) is live!

by Mitar

Hi! Sharing. Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ron Steinherz <ron(a)denovogroup.org> Subject: [internet-freedom] Murmur (formerly Rangzen) is live! To: internet-freedom(a)lists.berkeley.edu Dear all, De Novo Group is excited to announce the launch of Murmur (formerly Rangzen)! Murmur is a free, open-source, anonymous messaging Android app that does not require an Internet connection. Messages are not sent in real-time like with other messaging apps that rely on the Internet and have a central server, but instead spread directly from one device to another (forming a delay-tolerant peer-to-peer network) without user intervention using Bluetooth and WiFi Direct. The more devices the faster the message spreads and if no device is around, the message is queued in the feed to be sent later. Users control their anonymity and decide what information to share. Lastly, Connection Scores help users filter spam messages and Restricted Messages limit the audience to their friends. The motivation for the project originated in the days of the Arab Spring when a need to help citizens of oppressive regimes circumvent government-imposed communication blackouts was identified . Our implementation followed the tenets laid down in the UC Berkeley EECS research paper called “Rangzen: Circumventing Government-Imposed Communication Blackouts”: - Infrastructure Independent: A mobile mesh that easily scales without compromising users’ safety - Trustworthy: Leveraging social connections to resist attack and infiltration - Private: Providing strong anonymity guarantees to users to preserve their privacy More background information about the project can be found here: http://denovogroup.org/main/rangzen-project/ The project initially was based on a rather restrictive user model or extreme thread model as laid down in the research paper, but since then has evolved to cater to a broader audience than just activists in blackouts and include also ordinary folks looking for alternative ways of communication using decentralized, device to device communication on the go, with little to no fixed infrastructure. The motivations for the latter vary from prohibitive data costs, lack of Internet infrastructure, fear of surveillance and more. To download the app go to the Google Play page (as of Sun 1/31 night PST it was still updating so give it a few hours if you get an error): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.denovogroup.murmur The project is hosted on the public Git repo at: https://github.com/casific/murmur We welcome your feedback and involvement and want to deeply thank all of the core team and everyone that has helped us along the way. Best regards, Ron -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Hi! Come to Porto to Battlemesh this year! Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Filipe Borges Teixeira <filipebteixeira(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Battlemesh] Call for sponsored travels to Battlemesh v9 in Porto, Portugal To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List <battlemesh(a)ml.ninux.org> Hi! Thanks to our sponsors (http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV9#Sponsors) we will be able to offer a few travel scholarships (flight tickets) for non-EU residents. Please help spreading this call for sponsored travels to WBMv9. It is a great opportunity to promote Battlemesh across the globe! The deadline for applications is the 1st of March 2016. Best Regards, Filipe Teixeira ========================================================== Call for sponsored travels to Wireless Battle Mesh v9 (1st - 7th of May 2016, Porto, Portugal) ========================================================== Hi battlemeshers, are you interested in joining the battlemesh but don't know how if you can afford the travel since you don't live in Europe? We are currently in the process of securing funds to offer a few travel scholarships, and would like to invite you to send your application! Requirements ----------------- Travel scholarships are open to people not living in Europe. To apply for the travel scholarships, we would like to ask you to send a short video (not longer than two minutes) to describe your situation: * Where are you from? * Why would you like to attend Battlemesh? * What impact in your local environment do you expect from your participation? * Would you be able to attend without the travel scholarship? Shoot a short video and upload it to one of the video sharing websites and send us a link. Note that if it is private, we need a direct link and/or password for it as well. Contact ------- E-Mail your video to the local battlemesh team: Battlemesh V9 local team <v9(a)battlemesh.org> Rules -------- Travel Scholarships include a return airline ticket to come to the Wireless Battle of the Mesh (full week). The selected participants agree that: * The airline ticket is issued by INESC TEC directly to the selected candidates and sent by e-mail; * The flight dates have a maximum margin of 5 days before/after the event (exceptions can be considered in case of participation in another related event); * The selected candidates must sign up and pay for one of the special hotel packages. Deadline -------- The deadline for applications is the 1st of March 2016. Decisions will be made before 8th of March 2016. What is Battlemesh? ------------------- The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing together people from across Europe and beyond to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, 802.11s and Static Routing. It is a tournament with social character. If you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh networks you might want to check this out ! The goal of the WirelessBattleMesh (WBM) events is to set-up hands-on testbed for each available mesh routing protocol with a standard test procedure for the different mesh networks. During the different WBM events, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based on the OpenWRT BoardSupportPackage and packages for each protocol implementation. The WBM events are also a great opportunity to develop testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY analyzers) . This years Battlemesh will take place from 1st - 7th May 2016 in Porto, Portugal. http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV9 Best Regards, Filipe Teixeira -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

City Camp Oakland

by max b

Hey folks! Want to come join me at "City Camp Oakland" this weekend? http://citycamp.com/oakland/ According to the website, it's an "unconference focused on innovation and collaboration for municipal governments, community organizations and citizens." I'm a bit skeptical some of the ideas, but I think it could be a useful opportunity to connect to some local folks who could really help us out. For example, I just found out that the building Laurel Books is in on Oscar Grant Plaza is actually owned by the city. The owner of the business would be totally on board with our plans, but she's concerned about whether the city would allow us to mount antennas. To that purpose, I've added a "topic/session" to talk about peoplesopen.net! http://openoakland.uservoice.com/forums/340653-citycamp-oakland2016/suggest… I'd love to have another person or two there to help schmooze/tell people how amazing our idea is! Thanks! Max

Electrical work to help out with sudomesh/peoplesopen.net

by max b

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! Maxb

General Meeting Tomorrow (Tues 1/26/2016) @7:30pm

by max b

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! Max

Captive Portal Garden Gnome

by max b

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! Maxb

This year our featured speakers are mayor-elect Libby Schaaf who has supported open data transparency efforts and civic innovation as a CouncilMember, along with Jose Corona, the City of Oakland’s Director of Equity and Strategic Partnerships, nationally recognized for his work leading Inner City Advisors (ICA) in overseeing a portfolio of local companies to create 3,000 new jobs, generating over $150 million in wealth for local residents and increasing the percentage of Oakland residents being hired by ICA companies to 73 percent over the past ten years. More speakers to be announced shortly.

Fwd: [eecs-grads] Course announcement: EECS 290Q Understanding and Improving the Performance of Wireless Networks

by Mitar

Hi! Interesting. Maybe there will be some online materials. Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Adam Wolisz <wolisz(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Subject: [eecs-grads] Course announcement: EECS 290Q Understanding and Improving the Performance of Wireless Networks To: eecs-grads(a)eecs.berkeley.edu, eecs-profs(a)eecs.berkeley.edu 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. -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m
