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.
