That sounds good. I can do late afternoon Sunday, ~4.

I like it! I'll go to sudoroom sunday afternoon to
work on this some more.
Maybe we can start to design or build it.

Jehan,
I like the gist. We probably want to visualize the neighbor connections as
well as the bandwidth shared...I'm willing to help do that (possibly with
d3?).
I've made a few simple changes, as I don't think someone with zero tech
knowledge would necessarily even know what an ISP is. Also, although I can
see both pros and cons, I've tried not personifying the node in this draft:
This is the dashboard for your new
PeoplesOpen.net node. If there are
enough nodes nearby, they form a "mesh network" which can provide internet
access without the need for an internet service provider.
Right now, you're connected to three neighbor nodes: mesh26, mesh11, and
sally_b.
You're connected to the internet through mesh26.
So far, you've transferred 10gb of data between neighbor nodes.
Your home internet connection is currently not being shared on the mesh
network. If you'd like to securely donate a small portion of your own
bandwidth to this project, click here to start sharing.

Last Sunday we gave out 6 nodes to neighbors of the Omni.
Most people who have joined PeoplesOpen in the past are people who are
attracted to the technical and/or political message of mesh networks.
They're willing to put in some effort and are often somewhat technically
savvy.
The people we gave nodes to on Sunday had not heard of PeoplesOpen before
we rang their doorbell, and were often hesitant about the idea, thinking
that it would be technically difficult or intimidating.
I think that we need to think about what will make it as easy as possible
for a new user to get a node set up.
Another consideration is conversion. I think it's really hard to convince
someone to hook a node up to their ISP connection and contribute upstream
bandwidth the first time you knock on their door. If the dashboard has some
information about how much data has been forwarded, this could help people
feel ownership of the network and make them more likely to contribute
bandwidth.
Draft 1:
Hi, I'm a
PeoplesOpen.net node. I connect to other nodes around me to move
internet data. If there are enough nodes in an area, we form a "mesh
network" which can provide internet access without the need for an ISP.
Right now, I have 3 mesh neighbors: *mesh26*,* mesh11*, and* sally_b.*
We're connected to the internet through *mesh26*.
I've transferred *10gb* of data to and from my neighbors.
----
I can also connect to a home internet connection and donate bandwidth to
the
PeoplesOpen.net. Donated bandwidth is what keeps the network going.
I'll automatically stop sharing bandwidth if you are using your connection.
You can turn sharing on and off here:
