Hi! wlan slovenija is participating in Google Summer of Code this year as well. Under the umbrella of Freifunk network. https://dev.wlan-si.net/wiki/GSoC Google Summer of Code is a Google-sponsored program where Google stipends students working for a summer job on an open source projects from all around the world. Student is paid $5000 (and a t-shirt!) for approximately two months of work/contribution to the project. Student should submit a proposal of his idea of contribution, for which some suggested ideas can be used as a basis. List of possible ideas: https://dev.wlan-si.net/wiki/GSoC/Ideas Applications open March 10 and close March 21. If you are a student and would like to apply, now is the time to start thinking about this. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. This is a great way to become more involved with development of technologies used in our networks. Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Sudo Mesh postcard rough draft

by Alex Merenkov

Hi everyone, It’s Alex Merenkov from last Thursday’s meeting. I’m one of the two graphic designers that came to the meeting last Thursday and I’ve been working on a postcard to promote the mesh network. Today i have created a rough draft and wanted to get everyones input on the copy and also the design layout. The design layout i choose similarly fallows the design of whoever made the website for https://peoplesopen.net/ As such i used the same color from the Nav bar on the website and a picture of the bay area that i used a Tilt-shift effect on much like the photo on the website of lake Merritt. I added a QR code which directs to the website itself and stuck that in the corner. I wasn’t sure exactly what to put in as far as copy goes so i mostly copied and pasted what was on the mesh website that describes the meetings. I would love to hear any suggestions as far as text goes and also what everyone thinks of the aesthetics. For the font i used RoadGeek 2005 which is the same font used in all of the Oakland Street signs it is easy to read and not obnoxious like the font the city of Berkeley loves to used called Alan Cairns so i thought it worked nicely but we can do any font you guys think is best. Hope everyone is doing well. : ) Sincerely, Alex S. Merenkov Berkeley, CA

Hello Sudo Mesh, I moved into a new house and the connection in my room is very weak. They discussed that we could purchase a wireless repeater. What would be a good piece of hardware that could act as a wirless repeater and as a sudomesh device? If they aren't interested in replacing their crappy cablemodem-AP, what's the right setup here? Two sudo mesh nodes, one wired into the cablemodem, and another closer to my bedroom that's part of the mesh? -notconfusing?

Non-Oakland nodes connectivity?

by Alcides Gutierrez

Hi everyone. Was curious about what software services might have been looked at that are local network based but can also collaborate across the Internet. Im not exactly sure that working stable software like this exists. Reason for bringing it up is that I want to have a node at the house but I dont have any services to offer and I cant really spare much Internet throttle. I want to ask friends to node up but I feel itd be hard to convince them to be island free Internet portals. Collaborative services would add more value to them. I dont really have any services in mind. Just something that doesnt need the Internet to operate but can collaborate with others through the Internet. Something for Internect connectivity with direct Internet access. Am I making any sense? Sorry I cant make it to Oakland much. I run around town for coffee related things and have to stay close to my lab. I do want to get interacting with my neighbors on a node though. Cheers! Great work everyone! I really admire your hard work. Alcides G. http://roastberry.com

Developer launch!

by Marc Juul

As of last night, we've officially launched version 0.1.0 of the mesh firmware, a.k.a. Snow Crash. The plan is to have ~20 people with networking skills run nodes from their homes for 1-2 months and report any remaining issues. We'll then fix those bugs and do a wider release of ~60 more nodes. What's currently working: 1. Sharing limited Internet bandwidth with peoplesopen.net 2. Private access point with no bandwidth limit and mesh access 3. Automatic node meshing with batman-adv 4. Simplified web admin interface that lets node-owners change bandwidth sharing settings and passwords. 5. Automated configuration of new nodes using easy web interface. 6. Automatic printing of stickers with instructions and default generated passwords. To those of you who have already taken nodes home, here are a few notes: 1. sudo mesh has root access to your nodes since we manage updates per default. If you want to manage your own node and don't want sudo mesh to have access, you can disable our root access by removing /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys on your node. 2. Please report any bugs on our github. If you know which repository the bug pertains to, then go to the issue tracker for that repository. If you aren't sure, then just add the bug here: https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues A compiled version of the firmware is available here: http://build.sudomesh.org:8080/latest_images/atheros/ Keep in mind that the nodes have to be configured using the node-configurator after being flashed with that firmware and that the firmware only trusts sudomesh SSL certificates. We'll release a less secure version for developers who just want to play around as soon as possible. For now you can configure your nodes at sudo room with the help of one of the core team. In the following is a list of the repositories directly relevant to this release of the firmware. All of these repositories have been tagged with "sudowrt-0.1.0" so you can get the exact versions used in the release. The sudowrt firmware and build scripts (based on openwrt and the work of wlan slovenja): https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware The sudowrt packages repository: https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-packages The web admin interface: https://github.com/sudomesh/luci-app-peopleswifi The mDNS and DNS-SD client: https://github.com/sudomesh/mdnssd-min The node database: https://github.com/sudomesh/node-database The node configurator: https://github.com/sudomesh/node-configurator Sticker printing support for the node configurator: https://github.com/sudomesh/ql570 The node configurator client: https://github.com/sudomesh/node-configurator-client The wlan slovenja tunneldigger (very slightly modified): https://github.com/sudomesh/tunneldigger Mesh the planet! -- marc/juul

Auxiliary Hack-up Tomorrow 2.16

by max b

Hey meshers! We're going to have an auxiliary hack meet tomorrow at Sudoroom. The cryptoparty is happening and we thought we'd seize a bit of the momentum! We'll be: - Flashing and configuring routers with the sudomesh firmware and configs - Giving them out to folks who want to take them home and be testers (w/ suggested donations) - Hacking on the fake captive portal/splash page - Hacking on outreach/community development ideas - Working on our outreach video? - Doing that thing on the wiki "todo" list that you've been thinking about for the last few months and you're finally ready to come over and blast through So you should definitely be there! The cryptoparty is scheduled for 2-5pm and it's likely that there will be mesh folks hanging out during that period. Mesh the bay! Max

Cryptoparty + Build A Mesh Node tomorrow, 2-5pm!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi folks! Join us tomorrow afternoon at Sudo Room for a combined cryptoparty / mesh node flashing party! Learn how to encrypt your emails, phone calls, text messages, and online chats; get support for any issues you've run into; or come share what you know with someone new to digital security. More info here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cryptoparty In the sudo room proper, we'll be flashing routers with the just-completed Sudo Mesh firmware <https://github.com/sudomesh> (Snow Crash). Bring your own router (must have 8MB of flash memory and be OpenWRT-compatible) or buy one at cost from us ($75). Learn more about the project at https://sudomesh.org Cheers, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Re: [Mesh] IT cooperative!

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Sudo Mesh sudomesh.org is interested on cooperative models, and supportive of folks forming them, but not the model that seems intuitive for our development. We are becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit and launching and contributing to an independent project open to other collaborators that is the network itself: peoplesopen.net There are other local IT cooperatives. Meet with Electric Embers! Check out NoBawc the Network of Bay Area Worker Cooperatives. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Derek Razo" <derekrazo(a)gmail.com> To: <mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [Mesh] IT cooperative! Date: Thu, Feb 13, 2014 19:12 Hi all! Mitar from the PeerLibrary dev group pointed me towards the mesh group- saying that you guys have been discussing some some of the details of what an IT coop might look like. I was hoping to get some info about this! A group of people coming out of the Berkeley Student Coops (myself included) are in the process of starting an IT cooperative. We have been connecting with many groups around the bay to figure out a model and we have been meaning to reach out to the mesh group for a while! That being said, is there a scheduled time to have a conversation about this effort? Thanks for any info :) Best, Derek

coop ISP

by Jacob Levin

If others want to spend some time tonight talking through what a cooperatively owned ISP could look like, I'd love to be a part of that discussion. Some folks from Mondragon's University just held an event on cooperatives on Tuesday in SF and I talked with Ricardo from SELC a little bit about IT cooperatives. If we try and get a picture of how a cooperative might operate within and in partnership with the mesh tonight, I'd be happy to stop by the SELC legal cafe next week and get answers on whatever questions we come up with.

BSC $10,000 Development Grant

by Nader Morshed

If anyone is interested in writing an application, the Berkeley Student Cooperative has announced a $10,000 cooperative development grant for cooperative projects that serve students or underserved members of low-income communities within the SF Bay Area https://sites.google.com/a/bsc.coop/eacom/co-op-development-fund Applications are due 11:59 pm, Sunday March 9th. I am still interested in starting an extension to the mesh in Berkeley starting within the co-ops. This might be a nice way to get the central management on board, too and bring a bit more funding for hefty backbone equipment / more nodes. Lemme know if you all have questions. Still have a PicoStation sitting around waiting for mesh firmware to be loaded on! Nader

Re: [Mesh] Business cards and outreach

by Jeremy Entwistle

Ideally, the backs of the cards would be a sticker and the business card would just be plain after the sticker is removed. I have to talk to the printers to see if they can do that at a price comparable to the cards, but I don't see why not, it's almost the same. One of my primary motivations for creating the cards is because whenever I talk to people about the network we're developing, they say something like "yeah, I heard about a free internet thing." When really I would rather it be known as People's Open Network instead an idea that they heard about from somebody. Secondly, if people use business cards like me, they hold onto them and save them for later. A card with a logo or event on them, I just throw those out. If we compare impressions and clicks to the cost of a business card, it's more effective because they're going to be seen again and again by that person. It's more likely they're going to remember the name and be able to call upon it because of the association they made with one of us. Also, I don't want to compare what we're doing to a start-up, because I don't feel that's appropriate, but that's how it's seen by people in the bay area and having a cards comes off as more developed than every other idea. And last but not least, the idea is to provide cards to people by the group to those who have been attending seven or eight of the last ten meetings. Maybe or less demanding than that, but it gives more inventive to participate at the meetings.

Business cards and outreach

by Jeremy Entwistle

I created a card design that's open to feedback. Also, as proposed at the last meeting, I think we should provide cards to people who have been working the mesh and meet some minimum attendance to the meetings. The front and backs of these cards adhere to the design principles of the group and meet the printer's requirements. I could incorporate our groups mesh logo on the front of the card, but I couldn't find a vector-based one. The reason I would be less inclined to include it would be not to confuse people when we really just want to give our contact information and spread the word about the network. In regard to titles, I think people should choose something that describes what they do or will do as the network develops (installing nodes, workshops, software development, etc) and give the users confidence in adopting it. Take care, Jeremy

There’s something rotten in the state of online video streaming, and the data is starting to emerge

sudomesh bizcard

A proposed business card design for the mesh team. Reply to this thread with your (dis)approval and preferred title ;) One idea would be to make them front and back, with more general info about the People's Open Network on the other side. /jnny

maxb is not going to make it! - Also Networking study group

by Max B

Hi Folks, I'm not feeling particularly well, so I don't think I'm going to bike over tonight. Barring some significant change in circumstances, I think I'll be participating on IRC and etherpad instead. I've been working on finishing the splash page/fake captive portal code so maybe I'll be able to focus more on that while I'm here. Also, I'll obviously not be making the networking study group. I don't imagine that will be particularly disappointing to anyone, but if it is, I'm sorry and I'm more than happy to chat on IRC about it. Max

Re: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 13, Issue 7

by Jacob Levin

Nothing surprising about the fact that the Cable industry is taking advantage of the commons (unregulated spectrum) to increase the value of their privately owned assets. But it's probably a good idea for us to pay attention to what they're doing, as it will have a lot of implications for how people connect to wireless networks in the future. Specifically, Cable is investing heavily in the Hotspot 2.0 standard (802.11u<http://a030f85c1e25003d7609-b98377aee968aad08453374eb1df3398.r40.cf2.rackcd…>). Hotspot 2.0 creates a cellular-roaming like experience on mobile devices, allowing the process of selecting appropriate networks and providing necessary credentials to happen in the background, without any input from users. Pretty soon (1-2 years away I'd guess), Cable companies will likely become an MVNO and their customers phones will automatically connect to any Cable wifi hotspot. This isn't something we need to think about right now, but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. If the 802.11u standard gets widely adopted, it'll change the way the average person connects to WiFi networks. If you want to learn more about Hotspot 2.0, here's a good article about it: http://www.muniwireless.com/2013/12/02/cashing-in-on-hotspot-2-0/ On Thu, Feb 6, 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 > http://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.

Comcast public wifi

by Thomas Dudley

Hey all, I've been lurking on this list for little a while - I love the progress you're making! I ran across this article recently which I thought you'd find interesting. Classic monopoly behavior (bundling) from Comcast: http://www.dailydemocrat.com/business/ci_25059667/dont-panic-but-that-publi… ? Best, Thomas
