Hello meshers!
My name is Charles Wyble, and I've been involved with mesh networks for about 10
years.
A couple years ago, I cofounded a non profit called the Free Network Foundation. We've
been working on making the Ubuntu lts of mesh. We call it FreedomStack.
You can learn more at
http://www.thefnf.org . We are trying to participate in every single
us based mesh community, and provide assistance, connections etc. We also are securing
ipv6 space and building relationships with carriers , so that mesh networks can provide
internet transit if they so desire.
Very excited to be on this list. I'm based in Austin TX, our hq is in Kansas City. We
helped a local non profit (connecting for good) overbuild the evil Google Fiber prisim
net, with a free wifi network. It's rapidly growing to cover all of KC.
FNF doesn't operate networks, we provide operator education and development resources.
Oh yeah, we are working on the GPL for networks , called the Network Commons License. RMS
is on our board of advisors.
We also are working on high altitude wifi baloons, first test launch will be August 10th
out of Houston.
