Anybody interested in speaking about the People's Open Network at Mass Effect? 
I don't mind doing it if nobody else wants to, but it would be nice to have a variety of speakers.

Dang, I quit paying attention for a few days, and look what I miss! Great
news Marc, and thanks for documenting it so carefully -- and to Jenny for
blogging it. I'm glad I could help move this forward, and look forward to
connecting, hopefully this weekend!

If it will reach, I wonder if a nanostation on my end might be the way to
go, instead of a dish -- in order to offer more thorough coverage to the
area in between our houses?

Huzzah!
Pete

Message-ID: <52C7BC12.4060303@anhonesteffort.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Open Whisper Systems is hosting Winter Break of Code later this week in
Hawaii and we have this pesky air gap between our two houses. I have two
PicoS-tations here at TARDIS Farm which I borrowed to work on the batctl
LUA library and watchdog and thought they would do best to bridge this gap!

With the support of the list I'd like to toss these two APs in my bag
and setup the theoretically smallest mesh network in HI, returning the
APs back to Oakland no later than the 15th. I would be more than happy
to write a post about this and document the process such that the
temporary deployment is educational and thus productive towards SudoMesh.

If this might not be the best idea no worries, we'll just setup a
cantenna or something. Hope to see you all once more one of these
Thursdays, soon as I claw my way out of a few pre-existing engagements :)

Hi!

Battlemesh is an amazing opportunity to meet mesh enthusiasts from all
around the world. Recommend greatly!

Maybe an opportunity to present your firmware and get feedback on it
from everyone? And the mesh the planet portal?

Dear Battlemesh enthusiasts,

hope you all had a smooth start into the year 2014 - best wishes for all
upcoming endeavors, also on behalf of the local organization team!

==========================================================
       Announcing the Wireless Battle Mesh v7
    (12th of May - 18th of May 2014, Leipzig, Germany)
==========================================================

The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from Mon 12th
till Sun 18th of May at the Sublab Hackerspace in Leipzig, Germany. The
event aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the
performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like
Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, and 802.11s. Of course, new protocols
(working on OpenWrt) are always welcome!

It is not required to be active within the mentioned protocols, so if
you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or
have an interest in mesh networks in general, you have to check this out!

Information about the event is gathered at:
http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7


Location
========

The event takes place at the Sublab Hackerspace in Leipzig, Germany.
There will be room for hacking with software and hardware, talks and
presentations, as well as informal discussions between participants.


Participant Registration and Fee
================================

The event itself is free of charge and open for all, so to register
without hotel and food supply, simply add your name to the participant
table.

http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7/Participants

If you wish low cost accommodation, a special group booking has been
arranged. Payment in advance is required to get the full benefit of
the discount. Therefore, like for the previous event, this year's
edition features an "early bird low cost" registration program: Bed and
breakfast in a hostel in down town Leipzig from Monday till Sunday plus
dinner arrangements on the first two evenings are available for 150??? if
the payment is received before February 15th, 2013. The price goes up to
175??? for all payments made after February 15th. These late arrangements
are subject to availability.

We'll post detailled information on the payment method and account info
asap.

Of course, this package is not compulsory. You can also find your own
bed and food supply yourself during the event if you wish to do so.

More information can be found here:

http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7#Participant_Registration_and_Fee

Spread the Word
===============

Feel free to spread the word by forwarding this mail to all lists /
people that might be interested in it. Blogging about the event is more
than welcome, and if you do so, please add a ping-back to the wiki page:

Subject: [Mesh] Lot of rugged/GPS-enabled laptops available
Message-ID:
        <CAGWts0Hyumc4rV9_w_wwFT=2KA3z_eN2cDxEchwXQVmDfiB=GA@mail.gmail.com>

All--

I ran across something interesting on eBay, a lot of 4 rugged GoBook III
Ix260 laptops. These are Pentium M laptops (i.e. old and slow) but they are
rugged, they have built-in GPS capabilities, touch screens, and bright
outdoor-viewing displays. They come without hard drives, but with caddies.

I wonder if these might be useful for warbiking / node mapping, or other
mesh/sudo activities? I am interested to fool around with them, and
wouldn't mind owning one, but am hesitant to buy all 4 unless there is
likely to be a use for them (and unless I could recover some of the cost).

A little googling indicates that Ubuntu seems to run fine on them (I am
running Lubuntu on a similarly-specced Dell, and am super happy with it).
There might be an issue getting the touch screen to work -- I saw a
question about that without any response.

Thoughts?
