I hope this is appropriate to post and of possible interest. The Internet Society (I'm a member of the local chapter) offers various online courses. The latest is "Building Community Mesh Networks" : http://inforum.internetsociety.org/LMS/Portal.aspx?tabindex=0 The course was developed by IEEE and ISOC. Many of the course participants are IEEE SIGHT, IEEE Smart Village and HAM radio folks. It is an open course but requires an ISOC membership login (free => internetsociety.org) [image: Inline image 1] There's an online registration form with instructions. The course is self directed but has a six week completion timeline. Space is limited - sorry for late notice but I got a late start on it myself. I think after the course is over it will be kept online.
