Hey y'all, would anyone be interested in trying to provide WiFi to
homeless encampments?
I realize right now we are focused on building the network, but when we
are ready, I think serving homeless encampments would be nice because it
would be a great service for people with (potentially) a low cost for
us. There are several encampments around Oakland that are in strategic
locations for nodes to, like MLK and Grand, Broadway and 7th.
Does anyone know of good potential locations?
Cheers,

Perhaps we can combine this with a Sunday node mount ... we'll just
have to find a node mount with view / within reach of the proposed
areas.
Which one would be easier geographically?

City council will be voting on a proposed shelter crisis declaration on Oct
3rd - intro of the proposal is taking place at tonight's city council
meeting (see the proposal here:
http://oakland.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?M=F&ID=ada81c66-e877-4606-9713…
). This would ensure a cessation of evictions of camps in sanctioned
spaces. I know they just shut down the camp at San Pablo & Grand, and
purportedly the one at 6th & Brush this morning. We could definitely reach
the folks under the overpass at 35th & Adeline/Peralta.
However, First They Came for the Homeless at the Here&There signs is
sanctioned by Berkeley, and we have contacts there requesting a node. We
may be able to reach them from a friend's house slightly northwest. I will
follow up inabit.
