Hi!
(Come, because then it will be much easier for People's Open to organize
it next year. You will see how it goes and also the wider community will
know more about it. Let's move it to USA next year!)
I am inviting you all to Battlemesh. This year it will be in Slovenia,
03-09 Aug 2015. We extended the early bird deadline to 24 April for
shared accommodation costs. But otherwise the event is free to attend.
See more information here:
http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV8
Battlemesh is an international annual developer conference and brings
together wireless community networks participants, WiFi wireless mesh
networking enthusiasts, developers from the most popular open source
mesh protocol implementations (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, IEEE 802.11s,
OLSR) and anyone else interested either in developing mesh networking
technologies or establishing such networks.
The week long event is organized around participant collaboration and
learning with a number of talks and workshops running in parallel while
performing experiments on a test network deployed just for this purpose.
There will be a number of interesting and new devices to test, a setup
of wireless optical system KORUZA and much more.
(The dates are close to Chaos Communication Camp so you can continue to
Germany afterwards.)

Not sure how old the map is on http://meshmap.sudoroom.org/ but I've got two locations with roof access.
One is at the corner of San Pablo and 56th on top of an old motorcycle shop, and the other is in SF near the corner of Mission and Valencia.

Dear Friends,
Please join us Tuesday 3/31 in Palo Alto for the next event in the
Institute for the Future's Second Curve Internet (insurgent Internet)
Speaker Series Featuring Dewayne Hendricks, is a long time wireless
pioneer, activist for world net development, FCC Techie and Darknet
explorer
I hope to see you there!

Looking Back to Look Forward: The Future of the Internet
In this talk, Dewayne Hendricks will take us on a walk back through
history— starting with the British science historian James Burke who
pioneered using the ‘Connections’ methodology—and reveal how the
principles behind the Internet have manifested themselves before in
other communications methods. From that perspective, Dewayne will look
at today’s Internet and speculate on just what its ‘Second Curve’ might
look like.
o The rediscovery of the end-to-end principle and how this could be
put to use.
o The implications of growing the new Internet from the bottom up
(grassroots style), rather then top down.
o The effects of the growth of user owned communications
infrastructure on the future Internet.
o How the use of peer-to-peer applications are changing the
capabilities of the Deep Web (aka Darknet).
o How wireless devices might change if spectrum policies such as
'Open Spectrum' were allowed to flourish.

Fremont, California, USA. Tetherless Access offers a comprehensive range
of products and services, including research and product development,
for wireless communications via the Internet. He is also a past member
of the Federal Communications Commission's Technological Advisory
Council (FCC/TAC), where he served for eight years. In 2002, Wired
Magazine did a profile on him, titled "Broadband Cowboy."
Prior to forming Tetherless Access, Dewayne was General Manager of the
Wireless Business Unit for Com21, Inc. He joined Com21 participating as
Co-Principal Investigator in the National Science Foundation’s Wireless
Field Tests for Education project. That project successfully connected
remote educational institutions to the Internet. Test sites ranged from
rural primary schools in Colorado, USA to a University in Ulaan Bataar,
Mongolia.
About the Second Curve Internet Speaker Series
This event is part of IFTF’s Second Curve Internet Speaker Series, an
exploration into the critical elements necessary to reinvent the
Internet, stemming from our 2014 Ten-Year Forecast research. The series
gathers 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.

Event Recordings:
Alas: there were technical problems recording of the 2/27 Peter
Eckersley EFF talk, But - 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. What will happen?"
We should try to show up! We might even be able to show off some of the new
features we've worked on, especially the LUCI 2 code that Marc has been
working on!

Hello All,
I lost a USB memory stick that contains very important files.
On Saturday (March 14th) in the afternoon I stopped by Omni to do some
computer work, but since my laptop was running out of space, I transferred
a lot of files into a 32GB or 64GB (cannot remember exactly) memory stick
(that later I put in my pants front small pocket), so that I could have
some extra disk space. I left the OMNI about 7:00PM.
I believe I may have dropped it at the time that I was looking for food at
the fridge. I believe it was there, because right after getting food at the
OMNI I went straight to Ed's place. It was at Ed's place when I tried to
retrieve it and I realized I have lost it.
Please someone pass this email to the OMNI list if possible.
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel
Hey all,
We had an excellent meeting last week with lots of updates and
brainstorms on future plans. Two key announcements:
* We are trial-running a switch of our hacknights and meeting nights.
For now, we'll be having organizing meetings on Tuesdays in the ballroom
mezzanine, and firmware/dev hacknights on Thursdays in sudo room - 7:30pm!
* We continue to plan and actively mount rooftop nodes every Sunday.
Join our new 'talk' mailing list to stay up-to-date as we schedule:
https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh-talk - Or just join us every
Sunday at noon - we pack, prep and then leave from sudo!
More updates on technical and outreach progress + next steps in the notes -
Full notes recorded for posterity at:
