Hi Marc and Ryan
Thats cool! If you guys are into it let me know - either for the 29th
(depending on Jake's schedule) or after..
I need one more presentation for the 29th so let me know if you guy want to
present then or Jake if you want to?
The presentations are 20-30 min - there will proabably be 100-150 people
though this space is huge so there may be more.
Doors open at 7:30 and it goes till about 10:30-11:00
The dorks would totally be into hearing about this!
Thanks! -Karen

Subject: [LibreMap] LibreMap news

Hej!
I just returned from the 30c3 in Hamburg -- it was very exhausting yet
overwhelmingly productive for community networks in general and LibreMap
in particular.
So what's going on in the LibreMap universe? The most important messages
are all good news:
* the API is usable. \o/
--> an instance runs on http://libremap.net/api
* the webui is usable. \o/
--> an instance runs on http://libremap.net
* both the API and webui are now based on npm+bower+gruntjs which
takes away the pain from managing dependencies and deploying
(no more couchdb tools like 'erica' are needed)
* a submit agent for openwrt was just added. [2]
* conversion scripts from openwifimap and altermap are available. [3,4]
* the number of users starts to grow, but we need to continue to
spread the word about the benefits of a global router database.
* I also want to thank all contributors and early adopters who helped
a lot with their feedback!
Notes and future work for the API:
* the basic JSON schema is mature but we should go further and
provide a standardized way of providing additional information
like contact, place, software, network/wifi interfaces, antennas, ...
We don't have to reinvent the wheel here for most data. :)
* the usage of JSON-LD was proposed in [5].
* endpoint names should be pluralized, see [6].
* the installation of couchdb+geocouch still is the main obstacle when
setting up LibreMap and we should provide a clear documentation for
this. An even better approach would be to provide up-to-date
debian/ubuntu couchdb+geocouch packages in a ppa or in the
official debian repo.
- --> the API/schema changes should be discussed now such that we can
freeze the API in the next weeks. Nothing hurts more than an unstable
API... ;)
Notes and future work for the webui:
* models+views are based on backbonejs+leafletjs
* the map view switches between two modes automatically based on the
number of routers in the current viewport:
- coarse mode: only clusters of all available routers are shown
(aggregated in the couchdb via map/reduce view)
- fine mode: all routers are downloaded from the couchdb and the
user can choose between several filters to control
which routers+links are actually displayed.
The two modes are necessary in order to scale to a global level.
There's a demo of the technique with 50000 nodes [1].
* the webui is very modular and easy to extend.
* especially the filters are easy to write and everybody is invited
to contribute!
* configuration (base layers, filters, ...) can be adapted for each
installation by modifying the config.json file.
Notes on the openwrt submit agent [2]:
* extensible via small and configurable lua plugins
(/etc/config/libremap). Available plugins:
- contact information
- location
- system information
- wireless links (physical links)
* I will contribute an olsr plugin in the next days.
* Nico is about to write a batman-adv plugin.
* ideas for more plugins:
- automatic determination of location via wifi networks that
can be received
- links for more routing protocols: babel, bmx6, bgp, ...
- network interfaces
* plugin contributions are very welcome! Please file a pull request
for new plugins.
As you can see, we're on a good way and you're all invited to:
* check out the current version
* set up replication between your and other couchdb instances
(coordination should happen through this mailing list)
* file bug reports, feature requests or proposals for improvements
* contribute code, especially for the webui and submit agent.
Cheers from the LibreMap maintainers,
André and Nico

From: Josh King <jking(a)opentechinstitute.org>
Organization: The Open Technology Institute

Hi all,
Just to let everyone know, version 1 of the Commotion Router firmware
has been released. Android and Linux version 1 releases coming soon:
https://commotionwireless.net/blog/commotion-router-v1-release-noteshttp://www.newamerica.org/node/99668
Thanks to everyone on the Commotion Team, especially those that put in
so much work over the holidays, for putting out such a great release!
Release party plans forthcoming.

We now have the first component of the portable spectrum mapper: A gps-enabled low power logging wifi scanner. It broadcasts time, position and wifi scan data over ethernet and logs everything locally. I also added the ar9 spectrum scan patches to sudo mesh firmware and verified that spectral scanning works.
The portable unit will have a li-ion battery pack and can alternatively be powered from a normal 12 volt car plug.

*Jeremy went through the video interviews - they look great! He and
Daniel have been going through and marking good segments
*Marc is debugging the last bits of the firmware & node configurator (
see this email:
https://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2013-December/000672.html ).
Upgraded Sudo Room's internet with two new access points. Got the
spectrum analyzer working on our firmware (see below)
**Portable spectrum analyzer: Mac G4 battery to power the Bullet M5,
mounted on a pole and hooked up to a GPS, running the stock AirOS
spectrum analyzer software.
*MaxB tackling web admin bug, going to write some scripts for more

*Deekoo has been barreling through the build scripts for OpenWRT - got
it to download a build root in a secure, but not yet audit-able
fashion - still security holes all the way down \o/
