Hi all - an update to mention I'm reconnecting with Richmond based
non-profit Building Blocks for Kids to discuss best ways to integrate
People's Open Network with the community out here. Per our discussions a
few weeks ago, the plan is to show Ralph from Internet Archive that
SudoMesh is worth collaborating with so he will open up access to their
free wifi tower to spread via mesh instead of limiting it to just the
few repeaters they have set up already.
My goals will be to:
-find out where the few repeaters are now and how we can hook
into/extend their access
-find the best ways to outreach to this area for a group of people
willing and able to maintain a test deployment (and obv bring them by
SudoRoom for a mesh meeting, etc)
I plan to meet with Teresa from their Digital access team next week at
BBK offices in Richmond.
If anyone wants to join, let me know. Perhaps it would be nice to bring
some nodes to show?
Finally, sorry for being MIA at meetings the past couple weeks - life
things getting in the way causing various stages of overwhelmed head
space triggering reclusive tendencies. I *will* be back... hopefully
with some folks in Richmond interested in testing/maintaining a mesh out
here.
Peace
-Paige

Thanks Paige!
Just for what it's worth, I have a friend who lives in a pretty central
place in Richmond -- not at all a techy (like NOT AT ALL), but somebody I
could probably persuade to help out if all we need is for her to let us
hook up some stuff in her place. So feel free to ping me once you learn
more about where the repeaters are, if having somebody on the ground in
central Richmond would be helpful.

Thanks Pete. Perhaps in the meantime you could introduce the idea to her
and she could register her location on map.sudomesh.org? I just added
mine (waiting on confirmation email).
Would be good to get a few spots in Richmond on the map to show.

Hey Paige,
I'd love to join you on any of the community trips to Richmond that you
schedule. I'll be back in the bay area on Monday, so pretty much any time
after that I would be free to come along. I could also bring along some
relevant hardware, etc. if we wanted to show them what we're talking about.
I'd also commit to doing some amount of network administration stuff to
help get a test deployment up there and do some basic performance
monitoring. The timing with getting a deployment up might be a little
tricky because we want to make sure we have everything right before we make
any promises, but our current test deployments have been working well, so
hopefully we'll be ready in time.
Thanks for putting in the work to connect to these folks and keeping us up
to date on it!

Great to have you join Max. Having two folks for this first step sounds
ideal! Yeah, perhaps bring some nodes to show. We can coordinate the
meeting off-list.
In general, I'm not quite sure what their digital access teams
capabilities are but I think at the very least they could help us reach
out to people in the area who'd be interested in maintaining a test
deployment. And since we don't have access to the Archive tower...
finding the location of those repeaters is key.
In terms of messaging, I think the post-Sandy hurricane Red Hook mesh is
a captivating story; it shows a real-world example of a similar
community and how a non-profit like BBK can put resources towards making
a similar thing happen.
