Hi, April - I've been involved in the Adeline community redevelopment process in Berkeley, and I also live practically across the street from the South Berkeley library. While Max was explaining the Mesh topology today, I was wondering whether it would be possible to collaborate with local libraries to boost their wifi signal out into local communities. The first question - and the one everyone thought you would be the most expert on - is whether it would be wise to have any contact at all with official government entities...? On the bright side, it's a consistent source of paid-for wifi. The bandwidth for downloads is not huge, but my understanding is the Mesh signal would only allow for email and basic Internet browsing anyway. What do you think? If it is safe to bring this up, I will propose it at the next community redevelopment meeting. ~ Elisa _______________________________________________ mesh mailing list mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/mesh
