Hi, Max -
I will check on the next Community Redevelopment meeting - it's probably a
couple weeks from now on Saturday morning. The meeting itself would mostly
be focused on issues like affordable housing, so it's more of an
opportunity to grab Max Anderson for a chat afterward.
But I'm not bringing this up even in idle conversation with casual friends
until I hear from April or get some general group consensus that making a
City contact isn't actually going to cause some sort of harm.

Hey Elisa,
I'd still very much like to hear what the other folks here have to say
about community outreach, but my suggestion would be that maybe we find out
what the current state of connectivity, etc. is at and around the library
and try to draw out whether or not they'd go for something *like* our
project before we do any sort of proposing. I'd be happy to go with you to
the next community redevelopment meeting (I practically live in the
neighborhood), if you want to let us know when/where that might happen?
Thanks!
Max

Hi, April -
I've been involved in the Adeline community redevelopment process in
Berkeley, and I also live practically across the street from the South
Berkeley library. While Max was explaining the Mesh topology today, I was
wondering whether it would be possible to collaborate with local libraries
to boost their wifi signal out into local communities.
The first question - and the one everyone thought you would be the most
expert on - is whether it would be wise to have any contact at all with
official government entities...?
On the bright side, it's a consistent source of paid-for wifi. The
bandwidth for downloads is not huge, but my understanding is the Mesh
signal would only allow for email and basic Internet browsing anyway.
What do you think? If it is safe to bring this up, I will propose it at
the next community redevelopment meeting.
