Looping in Micah Daigle from collective agency who has offered crowdfunding
help. I'm also down to do some writing. A couple of user stories that pop
in my mind with san antonio specifically:
-- children of undocumented residents that don't have internet access at
home can study and hack through the mesh
-- people on the street will be able to have a lifeline of connectivity
-- families under financial stress will be able to stay connected
Also, there was a good discussion on my FB about getting WiMax routers in
the future, curious to hear what you guys think.

Hey friends!
Our WePay campaign is live, and it would be awesome if those of you who
said you'd loan or donate to the cause could contribute there:
https://www.wepay.com/donations/oakland-community-mesh-network
I will probably raise it to $3000 and articulate exactly what the budget
is allocated to. Let me know if you think of copy/design tweaks, and please
share widely on your networks.
Praveen awesomely promoted a Facebook post about the campaign, which is
getting some good attention now <3
