video: http://www.whitehouse.gov/share/heres-why-we-need-invest-high-speed-broadba… so President Obama wants the FCC to preempt state laws that restrict community and municipal "braodband" initiatives. there are 20 states that do this now; it's mostly the result of ALEC lobbying on behalf of cable companies to pass a suite of anti-competitive laws back around 2005. in any event, this is a major signal that the funding environment might soon open. so it's great we're meeting to soon to chat the present/future. if anyone wants a bit more context into CA's awkward and weak restrictions on municipal fiber, prod me to explain ! my best, april -- 0x54FC570B

of possible interest

by Mike Liebhold

Of possible interest: ( please forgive cross posting) Please join us next Tuesday 1/27 in Palo Alto for the next event in the Institute for the Future's Second Curve Internet (Insurgent Internet) Speaker Series What should Version 2 of the Internet look like? ,And how should we get there? IFTF Second Curve Internet Speaker Series with Peter Eckersley—January 27, 2015 Powered by Ten-Year Forecast The Internet's core protocols—TCP, IP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS—have served us very well for the past twenty to thirty years. But all of these protocols have limitations that are beginning to bite us in various ways. Because of these limitation, our global network is less secure, less reliable, and harder to innovate with. In this talk, EFF Technology Projects Director Peter Eckersley will give a tour of those limitations, and review some of the current efforts to upgrade the Internet's protocols to fix them. This includes the newly announced Let's Encrypt certificate authority, which EFF is working on with Mozilla, Cisco, and Akamai, that aims to make HTTPS free and ubiquitous. It also includes an analysis of essential features of other efforts to upgrade TCP, IP, and DNS such as IPv6, DNSSEC, and QUIC, and the difficulties that Internet engineers face when they try to change the protocols used by a planet-wide network. In IFTF's new Second Curve Internet Speaker Series, we explore the critical elements necessary to reinvent the Internet, gathering leading minds together with IFTF’s deep experience thinking about technology and the ways of communicating, coordinating, and organizing in the changing world around us. Join us for our January event featuring Peter Eckersley! Peter Eckersley is Technology Projects Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He leads a team of technologists who watch for technologies that, by accident or design, pose a risk to computer users' freedoms—and then look for ways to fix them. They write code to make the Internet more secure, more open, and safer against surveillance and censorship. They explain gadgets to lawyers and policymakers, and law and policy to gadgets. Peter's work at EFF has included privacy and security projects such as Panopticlick, HTTPS Everywhere, SSDI, and the SSL Observatory; helping to launch a movement for open wireless networks; fighting to keep modern computing platforms open; and running the first controlled tests to confirm that Comcast was using forged reset packets to interfere with P2P protocols. Peter holds a PhD in computer science and law from the University of Melbourne; his research focused on the practicality and desirability of using alternative compensation systems to legalize P2P file sharing and similar distribution tools while still paying authors and artists for their work. He is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. Event Details DATE: January 27, 2015 TIME: 6-8pm LOCATION: Institute for the Future, 201 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto, California 94301 - See more at: Sign up here: http://www.iftf.org/our-work/global-landscape/ten-year-forecast/reinventthe… By the way - if you missed the first two events in the series: with Cory Doctorow and David P. Reed, The Videos are online here: Redesigns for a Broken Internet - Cory Doctorow [Video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J_9EFGFR-Y "The Internet's broken and that's bad news, because everything we do today involves the Internet and everything we'll do tomorrow will require it. But governments and corporations see the net, variously, as a perfect surveillance tool, a perfect pornography distribution tool, or a perfect video on demand tool—not as the nervous system of the 21st century. Time's running out. Architecture is politics. The changes we're making to the net today will prefigure the future our children and their children will thrive in—or suffer under." Cooperate and Thrive, or Divide and Conquer? David P. Reed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RAnHWPS-Iw "You never step into the same river twice. So it is with the Internet. The Internet transcends any particular physical devices, any particular services, country boundaries etc. But today it remains a collection of rivers, with firm banks, a few major sources, and a vast undifferentiated ocean of "consumers." The Internet has begun to encompass the air around us. That is, almost all of us in the West now carry the Internet with us, maintaining constant connections to the rivers, attempting to create "rivers" in the sky. Technically, rivers in the sky makes no sense at all. What will the next phase of the Internet look like? How will it be built? In this talk we will focus on two major technology issues that challenge the future evolution of the Internet—radio networking architecture and proximate interaction. In each, the core principles that helped the Internet succeed are being discarded.

Sunday mounting

by April Glaser

Hi there, If people want to try to mount an antenna at my place tomorrow, that'd be great. But it's going to take a bit of planning, as I'm unsure where in my enclave would be best. -If you have a very tall ladder to bring, let me know. Otherwise I'll find one. -I don't want to put my address out on this list, but maybe folks can meet at Omni again and come over together? When? I'm free starting at 1pm. Wishing everyone a wonderful evening. -abril -- 0x54FC570B

Third world mesh

by Blaine Hatab

Hello everyone. So I've been lurking on the mailing list for a little while and I don't quite know how to get involved. I figured I'd just put my goals out there and get some perspective on if I can and should get involved more. So my goal with the mesh is to setup an open source mesh in third world countries that has an emphasis on bringing modern web development tools offline. I am teaching some Nigerians but they regularly have bad internet. Would it be reasonable to apply Mesh to bringing them offline accessible tools? My original plan was making a raspberry pi setup where they could make it themselves and as it grows they can start to connect with each other. I just don't know the limitations of this technology though. Sorry if this is not how the Mesh group works. Thanks, Blaine ᐧ

1-2 day planning retreat

by April Glaser

Hi all, We discussed the idea of doing a 1-2 day retreat that's aside from the weekly gathering of just core members, since it's hard to focus at sudoroom. Also it seems that we are at a moment when we might want to make a few decisions. We can decide the agenda together in advance. Here's a poll to help find a day: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/mesh_pseudo_retreat/ Some things it'd be nice to get clarity on, for example: -Should the network first offer an uplink or first serve a local networking need? -Community needs assessment to try to see if we can initially deploy a network towards some end? -How can we better clarify how people's open is different from other mesh projects on the website? -What kind of project management would help move the firmware along? -We could even invite Preston from OTI to talk to us about what worked/what didn't in Commotion deployments These questions have come up in conversations at the last couple mesh meetings. I've also been chatting with folks around Oakland who gave me some initial ideas about what could go on a network. Clarity here will also help w/ grant possibilities. We can do it at one of our places or reserve a room at omni. It doesn't have to be an all day thing, and it should be interesting. I'll do some research in advance. Hope y'all are all alright. yours, a -- 0x54FC570B

greenpeace warehouse

by April Glaser

hi there, tomorrow i'll be helping some friends for a few hours at the Greenpeace warehouse at 7th and Adeline from 11-2. we'll be outside in the parking lot building things. 955 7th St., Oakland if people want to stop by, turns out it's a potential node site to check out with great roof access (if it makes sense on our mapping). could be a great local partner in the future. all my best, april -- 0x54FC570B

Fwd: Battlemesh V8 - Maribor, Slovenia

by Mitar

Hi! Come to Battlemesh to Slovenia! :-) Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Musti <musti(a)wlan-si.net> Subject: Battlemesh V8 - Maribor, Slovenia Hi, I would like to invite you to Battlemesh V8 [1] conference, an event normally joining approx. 60 to 100 wireless hackers, mesh developers (BATMAN, OLSR, Babel, ...), OpenWRT developers, WiFi community people, students, academics, WISP people and enthusiasts from all over the world. During a week of rather informal program, we share knowledge, hack things, compare routing protocols and much more. This year Battlemesh V8 will be held in Maribor, Slovenia, in a very nice environment under mountain Pohorje. Currently the date is not yet set and we invite you now to consider participating and vote on the date that would suit you. If you are planning to go to CCC camp this summer and travel from other continents to Europe, one of the proposed event dates is chosen with this in mind to be possible in a single trip. Please vote [2] which date is more appealing for you, out of the two options. The weather is generally nice, expect between 20-30 degrees Celsius, mostly sunny. 22nd - 28th June 2015 This date is extremely appealing as music festival Lent http://www.festival-lent.si/en/ starts on 26th and offers a two week long series of events on up to 34 stages of various sizes across town and is a great option to prolong your stay during this most vibrant season. 3rd - 9th August 2015 This date precedes CCC (13th-17th August) in Germany, offering an excellent opportunity to combine travels from all over the world first to Slovenia and then to Germany for an extended period of great events. Travel from Maribor to Zehdenick (near Berlin) is feasible with night train(39EUR+) or flying from Graz airport(90EUR+), sometimes coach/carsharing options also available. Feel free to send me any questions you may have.

Node mount today canceled!

by Marc Juul

Sorry folks. Will is sick. He sent an email canceling at 10:30 am today but it got caught by mailman "post by non-member to members-only list". We could potentially mount a node on a warehouse in west oakland today instead if people are up for it, but we'd need one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/20-ft-telescoping-flag-pole-kit-95600.html Anyone feel like driving to San Rafael to get it?

q's for next general meeting

by April Glaser

hi all, i have a few questions as i attempt to update the wiki, add a new blogpost (maybe pen an article for an outside publication on the project), and update an outreach plan. but i'm dim about what our next goals are and who/where we want to outreach to about mounting a router. i'd like to request that at our next thurs meeting we spend the first hour: -answering a few questions, -looking at our existing outreach list <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OxG6s1NFAEd9dasX5-Hdrz4jR6IWk9CkQTD…>, -prioritize it, and -list what materials we need to update/create to bring our outreach partners a solid proposal. would folks mind doing that? i'll gladly facilitate to help keep us on point and to the point :) i'll also take notes and add the ether pad to the wiki. this will help me to dig in and hack on our community organizing moving forward. also, does anyone here know what parts of the wiki need some love? (we can also list the outdated pages this thurs in 2015) excelsior, april

Hey all, I'm back in Oakland and I've got my Ubiquiti Nanobridge M5 ready to set up. I'm guessing that no one is going to get together on Thursday because it's new years day. Is anyone planning to meet up on this coming Sunday? Also April - let me know if there's any way I can help out with the wiki. I'm still new to this but I'd like to put some time in to help out. *Will Martin* On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 12:00 PM, <mesh-request(a)lists.sudoroom.org> wrote: > Send mesh mailing list submissions to > mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > mesh-request(a)lists.sudoroom.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > mesh-owner(a)lists.sudoroom.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of mesh digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. q's for next general meeting (April Glaser) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2014 17:09:15 -0800 > From: April Glaser <april.glaser(a)riseup.net> > To: "mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org> > Subject: [Mesh] q's for next general meeting > Message-ID: <54A0A9BB.9090205(a)riseup.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > hi all, > > i have a few questions as i attempt to update the wiki, add a new > blogpost (maybe pen an article for an outside publication on the > project), and update an outreach plan. > > but i'm dim about what our next goals are and who/where we want to > outreach to about mounting a router. > > i'd like to request that at our next thurs meeting we spend the first hour: > > -answering a few questions, > -looking at our existing outreach list > < > https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OxG6s1NFAEd9dasX5-Hdrz4jR6IWk9CkQTD… > >, > > -prioritize it, and > -list what materials we need to update/create to bring our outreach > partners a solid proposal. > > would folks mind doing that? i'll gladly facilitate to help keep us on > point and to the point :) i'll also take notes and add the ether pad to > the wiki. this will help me to dig in and hack on our community > organizing moving forward. > > also, does anyone here know what parts of the wiki need some love?

digital dead end

by April Glaser

hello mesh, i'm going to read digital dead end by virginia eubanks in january. it's about broadband internet access/equity in relation to questions of social justice (eg, race, class, gender). i've been wanting to read it for a couple of years. other mesh projects that I'm buddies have reported to find her thinking useful and inspiring. http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/digital-dead-end let me know if you'd like to read it too, and we can book club it :) all my best, abril

node mount today canceled?

by Marc Juul

I'm not able to host node-mounting today. Still recovering from sickness. If anyone else wants to jump on it then speak up! Status on the Omni roof mount is that John is very concerned about how we're going to mount the node and it doesn't seem like he's going to let us do it without having his contractor there (which I expect will mean we'll have to pay the contractor). I have now suggested that we use one of these instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diamond-Mounts-NPRM2D-Non-Penetrating-Roof-Mount-2-… and a few sand-bags. We'll see what he says. -- Marc Juul

Re: [Mesh] [sudo-discuss] what's the speed of our Omni wifi?

by Jenny Ryan

Our connection is terrible for livestreaming. There are two possible solutions I can think of: 1) limiting some large portion of our available upstream to a wired connection only. not sure this is possible (cc'ing the mesh crew), 2) we could use a portable hotspot. i believe AT&T has good 4G coverage at Omni, so I can pay a bit more money for my smartphone bill this month and we can use it as a hotspot. 1 Mbps x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 3 hours = 10,800 / 8bits per byte = 1.3GB of data Totally doable, though a backup or two would be great!

Node mounting today cancelled?

by Marc Juul

I can't make it today (sunday) for node mounting. If someone else wants to bottom-line it, then speak up and it can still happen. I was hoping we could do a quick mount on the Omni roof, and while I did manage to go on the roof and figure out where to mount the node and talk to the landlord, he wanted a drawing and written explanation before approving anything. We have a node lined up for the coming week, and maybe we can do the Omni mount on the same day. Sorry for the short notice. -- marc/juul

Joining the mesh

by Will Martin

hi everybody, I'd like to join the mesh network. I live on Broadway and Ocean View and have a nice view of downtown Oakland as well as of Berkeley from our porch. I'm planning to buy a router and bring it to the sudo room to get it set up on the Sunday after next. I met Mark and Dan at the sudo room tonight and they recommended I buy the Nanobridge M5. I see there's a 22 and 25 decibel version. Is the M5-25 the right router to buy? -Will Martin -- *Will Martin* M:414-678-WILL
