It would be about 2k to build a 60 foot tower. ** seth: if he does end up tearing it down, he'll contact us to give us the parts... TBD ** benny: call back in two weeks? * figure out how much BYOI at west oakland public library would cost @iamai ** mai: done! It costs $15/hr for nonprofits. The problem is that saturday’s are typically booked due to regularly scheduled meetings that happen. I think it’s worth asking at other libraries. Maybe Temescal or Golden Gate branch?

I can totally make time to call/video chat w folks. From: tracy(a)media-alliance.org Sent to: mai@peoplesopen.net,commoner@omnicommons.org Hi folks, I just wanted to reach out and say that we are really trying to locate Oaklanders who have been pushed by their landlords to use a big incumbent ISP. Their stories will assist with getting an Internet choice law in place in Oakland. We will protect identities if necessary. Seems pretty likely Sudo Mesh and PON has connections to some people who tried to be a part of the mesh network and ran into landlord problems. It would really help us if we could quantify some of that before our next meeting with Oakland City government on March 6. EFF kindly made a blog and survey sheet for outreach purposes. Could you get the word out to your memberships? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/02/oakland-renters-deserve-quality-servi… Solidarity, Tracy * john-mark: reminder: nothing a landlord can do to prevent somebody from setting up a dish > https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/notes (https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/notes)
