Just started laying the ground work for a mesh network here in Puerto Rico.
Love what Sudo Room has accomplished so far, I look forward to
collaborating.
We'll need to dive wide and deep to explore post-disaster recovery in
Puerto Rico.
There is sooo much to document, sooo much more to learn. I started a new
Git Hub repository, https://github.com/mistribus/Puerto-Rico-Mesh, to keep
track of everything. I hope to suck everything into
https://github.com/mistribus/Puerto-Rico-Mesh/wiki dor documentation.
What have you heard about the communications challenges after the
hurricane? Any questions?

Hey Kevin:
Thanks for sharing your links.
I don't know much about the situation in Puerto Rico myself: I've seen
the call from the Red Cross for HAM operators, see <https://sudoroom.or
g/pipermail/mesh/2017-September/002595.html> . Other than that, I've
read stories that many people are still without power and water <https:
//www.nytimes.com/2017/12/29/us/puerto-rico-power-outage.html>: is it
still a silent disaster in progress?
I'd be curious to learn more about your ideas on creating a mesh
network in Puerto Rico. Where are you located? What kind of skills does
your community have? What kind of devices do folks use to commnicate?
What do you think are the most basic services for a local mesh network
that might not be always connected to the "big" internet? Email? Chat?
Maps? Wikipedia?
thx,
-jorrit

What happened: Text messaging seemed to be the go to service, after that
the solution was to find a tower that had signal and then go there. People
were parking as soon as their phones started registering service, massive
comms traffic jams formed. So even in place with service the cell would
become swamped, again text messaging's small footprint allowed messages to
squeeze out. If you stay connected long enough there was a dribble of IP.
However, any platform that required "server" processing was disrupted. I
heard that SnapChat was useful to send messages because the packets were
small enough to squeeze through, but connecting to the servers for
validation to login was troubled. One other observation, smartphone apps
that have fully functional Internet websites seemed to fair better, think
Facebook, Netflix, Torrent; Apps that can function on very low bandwidth
are the key.
Contemplating: I need to challenge the "build it and they will come"
approach here, so I'd rather approach it from the simplest system possible.
Is that peer-to-peer text messaging? That's my current hypothesis until I
can learn more.
