Hi folks (Ivan and Alex?),

My name is Arthur.  I'm part of a group called the People's Open Network.  We're a Oakland based non-profit trying to foster a community run mesh network in the Bay Area.

https://peoplesopen.net/

I asked for your contact information from my friend Jerry Lugert, who I'm sure you know.  (Jerry is currently road tripping through the south-east US in his new VW van.)   Also I myself was at your place on Euclid years ago for a small dinner event.

I wanted to reach out because I'm hoping you might be interested in being part of the PON, may want to obtain a home node, and might be willing to make space for one or more antennae on your roof.

An overview of how individual nodes function in the overall mesh can be found here

Whether or not you would wish to share bandwidth or function simply as a repeater is up to you.

If you would just like to talk about the group, please feel free to ask, and if you are willing, I and a couple others could come over some weekend to fill you in on the details.

I really do hope to hear from you.  :)

best,
Arthur
