Hi everybody,
I'm new to town and I'm interested in helping with the project. I'll be at
the meeting on Thursday. I wanted to focus more on the hardware aspect side
of things. I have a background as an EE and I haven't had much field
experience with radios and networking, but it's one of the three projects I
will be focusing on in Oakland. One detail that I can't figure out if it's
built into the cjdn nodes bridge to the internet. I'm guessing yes, but I
can't find anything that specifies it.
Maybe somebody will be willing to catch me up with some of the local
project details.
See you tomorrow,
Jeremy

I think Mitar is really on to something here and i tend to agree with his
position. I think we have a great list of his points/position.
Guifi.us has a very specific goal: take the wndw.net site and turn it
into a simple process: plan, fund, procure, build. It will scrape from
existing map sources for its map. The less to scrape from the better!
Jenny/all,
Do you have a spec/goals/motivations etc page up somewhere for
meshthepla.net?

Hi!
So, maybe you should talk with people behind the freifunk.net site and
see what is their vision is? Probably they are just around the corner.
:-)
As I said, there could be two domain names pointing to the same page,
meshthepla.net having different theme and different (English) locale.

Mitar and all,
The idea with meshthepla.net is to create a campaign site that is
agnostic
toward any particular network. Freifunk.net by
and large points to
and
promotes itself, which is really all the argument
needed.
Also, I'm intending to use the site for documenting the workshop I'll
be
leading at the wireless summit, one output of
which is a global
community
asset map of free networks and a communications
framework for
continuing
the conversation. :)
I do like the Freifunk site a lot and am hoping I can grok more of it
after
spending a few weeks immersed in German!

Something in English, preferably. I'd love to know more about this

Guifi.us is a 2.0 version of that site/concept and also more US centric.

tl;dr - Bluetooth uses less power, but has significantly less range.

Guifi.us looks great and is something I would support us at least trying.
On a general note I'm highly skeptical of any database built on top of
JSON. My hope is for an API to be built for this dataset such that
individual mesh networks are not forced into using this one size fits
all biz.
