Hi all - an update to mention I'm reconnecting with Richmond based
non-profit Building Blocks for Kids to discuss best ways to integrate
People's Open Network with the community out here. Per our discussions a
few weeks ago, the plan is to show Ralph from Internet Archive that
SudoMesh is worth collaborating with so he will open up access to their
free wifi tower to spread via mesh instead of limiting it to just the
few repeaters they have set up already.
My goals will be to:
-find out where the few repeaters are now and how we can hook
into/extend their access
-find the best ways to outreach to this area for a group of people
willing and able to maintain a test deployment (and obv bring them by
SudoRoom for a mesh meeting, etc)
I plan to meet with Teresa from their Digital access team next week at
BBK offices in Richmond.
If anyone wants to join, let me know. Perhaps it would be nice to bring
some nodes to show?
Finally, sorry for being MIA at meetings the past couple weeks - life
things getting in the way causing various stages of overwhelmed head
space triggering reclusive tendencies. I *will* be back... hopefully
with some folks in Richmond interested in testing/maintaining a mesh out
here.
Peace
-Paige
