Hi! I forgot to forward this earlier. But starting now at Impact Hub in Oakland there will be a great talk about some technological aspects of Ceptr, a meta-currency project: https://www.facebook.com/events/1671179489831718/ http://ceptr.org/ Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

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

Fwd: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: CityCampOak 2016: Oakland at a Crossroads

by max b

I think that I might try to go as a peoplesopen.net delegation. It conflicts with the "HackTheLeft" hackathon that's the 5th-7th, but I think this might function as a good way in to Oakland tech communities. Anyone else interested?

Join hundreds of Oaklanders on February 6th for a day of making our democracy stronger, our communities more connected and our local government better at the fourth annual CityCamp Oakland; hosted by OpenOakland, the City of Oakland and key community organizations. If you’ve wanted to talk with other Oaklanders about issues of civic engagement, better technology in government, transparency, accessibility of government services, ways community can work together, business development or education- this is a great place for all of those conversations. At CityCamp Oakland *you* get to pitch sessions you’re passionate about, lead them yourself or gather with like minded Oaklanders to connect and collaborate. CityCamp is an unstructured conference where engaged Oaklanders like yourself combine forces with city officials, techies, software developers, civic leaders and journalists. We know many things can be improved in Oakland and we believe in the power of communities to bring about those changes - CityCamp Oakland is one way to connect our diverse communities with common goals. 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.

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

Open source wifi router for crisis situations using atheros wifi

by Valent Turkovic

Hi all, I'm one of people who started www.meshpoint.me - idea is to build open source wifi router that can be easily deployed in any type of crisis situations. I have been setting up wifi networks in crisis situations and I know that there are no devices that are usable in crisis situations. Belive it or not but first responders usually aren't network admins :) So that is why we started developing MeshPoint, wifi device that anybody can use in crisis situation. First iteration will use off the shelf components and later we plan develop our own wifi router board using atheros hardware. Our current design (as you can see on the web site) uses three TP-LINK WR842ND (AR9341) boards in 3D printed case. Our concern is that this could generate too much interference and cause too much L2 retransmissions because of co-channel interference. We are using latest OpenWrt 15.04 Chaos Chalmer and ath9k driver and would like to know if it is possible to extract metrics that shows number or L2 retransmissions. Do mac80211 or ath9k tracks L2 retransmission statistics? How can we get those metrics if they do? >From my research up to 5-10% of L2 retransmission is just fine, but anything over that is cause for great concern. Is there any other metric that you would suggest we track that would show some issues due to wifi interference? Is there anyway to get AR9341 datasheet? Cheers, Valent.

Exit server downtime

by Max B

Hey folks, There's gonna be an hour or so of network downtime tonight. I just got an email from digital ocean saying that we've received too many dmca complaints and that they're gonna bring down our server until I respond to the latest one. I'm out of the house for the next hour and I don't know that I can deal with it until I get back. Sorry about this - I'm gonna try to get this fixed asap and avoid this moving into the future. Thanks, Max
