Running phone line to La Commune counter

by yar

Hey all, since we're running ethernet to the front door, are there any plans to also run some phone cable out there? I know we have a phone in Sudoroom and the La Commune people have been asking for a phone for a long time.

3D area and the one above by the server room.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Folks, I would like to help clearing the wiring that comes from the 3D printing area and the are above, but I would prefer if I speak with someone that work in this area just to make sure I am touching/moving stuff I should touch/move. The cables coming from these two areas really make the server area look messy, well, okay okay, make the server area look messier. :) I am at the sudoroom right now, and I could work on it right now and someone tells me it is ok.

Pollination project grant final report due in 5 days

by Marc Juul

Since we got $1000 from them we have to send a report answering the following questions: A final report is due within 12 months of when you sign your grant agreement letter. The final report should be emailed to *grantees(a)thepollinationproject.org <grantees(a)thepollinationproject.org>* should answer the following questions : 1. How did you spend the grant funds, and what have you achieved during the last 12 months of work on your project? 2. What have you learned about yourself and/or the world as you’ve worked on your project? 3. A story about how the TPP Seed Grant has made a difference for you and your work? 4. Provide at least one photo and/or video of your project in action (more is better!) so that we can share it on our website and use it to inspire others. 5. (optional) Any advice you would give to future grantees of the Pollination Project (in terms of applying for a grant from us, implementing the project, managing the budget, reporting back). Here is the project update that I wrote at the 6-month mark: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudomeshpollination Anyone wanna help write this?

I need wiring status for the entrance area please...

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, Could someone please give me the update on the wiring by the corner's entrance? when I left today, there was an issue that the existing drill bit was not long enough. If making the whole, for the network cable, still not done, please let me know. A friend and I can come on Tuesday with a few feel long drill bit to take care of it. I just need to confirm my friend that it still needed; so we can meet there on Tuesday. Many thanks in advance, Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Scuttlebutt

by Mitar

Hi! I think I have finally find a system I like for in-mesh communication: peer-to-peer replicatable data structure, scuttlebutt; https://github.com/dominictarr/scuttlebutt They also have an UI on top of it: https://github.com/ssbc/phoenix I think making this client-side-only and using WebRTC to talk, with mesh nodes serving only to rendezvous is something I would like to see. :-) Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Battlemesh travel scholarships available

by Mitar

Hi! (Please spread the word to those you think might be interested in the scholarship.) We are opening a call for sponsored travel to attend Battlemesh for anyone living outside Europe and would like to invite you to send your application! Battlemesh is the annual conference/gathering/hack event on community wireless networks and routing protocols will be between 3rd-9th August in Maribor, Slovenia. As Battlemesh is in the week before the Chaos Communication Camp in Germany, this is an excellent opportunity to be able to travel to both. https://wlan-si.net/en/blog/2015/06/22/battlemesh-travel-scholarships-avail… Event is free to attend and we still have organized accommodation available at low cost. Requirements ------------ Travel scholarships are open to people not living in Europe. To apply, 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? - Will you continue to the Chaos Communication Camp? (Note that it is not a problem if you also plan to go to the CC camp.) 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 at <battlemeshv8(a)wlan-si.net>. Deadline -------- The deadline for applications is the 3rd of July. Decisions will be made before 6th July. 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 mesh networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, IEEE 802.11s, OLSR. It is a tournament with a social character. If you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh networks and related technologies, come and attend. The traditional goal of the event 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 event, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based on the OpenWrt and packages for each protocol implementation. The event is also a great opportunity to develop testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY analyzers). Alongside the testing of routing protocols, a number of talks, workshops, and hackathons will be held on various mesh-related topics, all from technology to community and social aspects of mesh networks. This years Battlemesh will take place from 3rd to 9th August 2015 in Maribor, Slovenia. Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Re: [Mesh] Fun, installing mesh

by Tom

Hi Sudo meshers, I had a great time helping install the Ethernet with you and wanted to thank everyone for such a fun day today. I learned a lot I didn't know, and I'm always gratefull for to learn from those opportunities. I really appreciated the chance to follow the installation with you, and learning the openwrt flashing and soldering the tp-link boards, really expanded my technological horizons. Special thanks to Max and Mark for showing me the ins and outs of cabling/routers/re-configuring wrt power supplies, etc.! Thanks to Benny and Daniel for such a great dinner! And thanks to everybody for being such great company during 10+ hours of installation! I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Ad-hoc mode and cjdns

by Cobin Bluth

Hi All, I live in portland OR, and I am just recently getting interested in wireless meshnets. My current setup is two nodes, Raspberry Pi 2 Hardware, one with a tp-link TL-WN722N, and the other with some sort of "panda wireless-n" adapter. My problem is that I am getting around 30% dropped packets, and they are about a foot apart, which makes me wonder if using a ad-hoc is a good idea or not... I have them both running Ubuntu 14.04 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi> and the most recent version of cjdns. My network configs are below: root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) # Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wireless-channel 8 wireless-essid NeighborMesh wireless-mode ad-hoc So then I decided to just remove the wireless usb adapters, and run cjdns over the eth0 interfaces, but I am still getting a consistent ~12% packet drop with that: --- fcfe:307d:38e5:5aa4:9bfc:a4ce:dd3d:969c ping statistics --- 76 packets transmitted, 67 received, 11% packet loss, time 75156ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.378/26.382/196.791/51.318 ms Pinging the IPv4 address outside of cjdns works great, always: --- 192.168.0.226 ping statistics --- 24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 23002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.640/0.675/0.783/0.036 ms What am I doing wrong? I *would* like to achieve standalone/independent wireless mesh nodes that dont need a master access point to function. (I am imagining giving one to my geek neighbor, and seeing if we can start a mini mesh network) Does anyone have any suggestions? -Cobin
