Hi-
l got your contact information from visiting Sherman Hall & Davis House
today.
l work with a community wireless mesh network based in north Oakland
called Peoplesopen Network. There are hate speakers invited on campus by
the UCB administration expected in the next week. l and some other folks
want to set up a mesh that covers campus (esp. the vicinity of Sproul
Plaza) during the anticipated events to provide internet connectivity.
The CalVisitor network has terrible coverage as is, and it has been
observed that the school stops service during some events. Supplementing
existing wireless infrastructure in events like these is exactly why
community mesh networks exist. It significantly increases safety for
everyone in the area. l write to ask you guys for help with setting up a
node (or more) that will provide bandwidth.
The node(s) need(s) not be permanent, (but we'd be happy to maintain
them, love them and make them part of the existing project if they
were.) We plan to have sneakernet nodes (humans carrying nodes) bounce
the signal to where service is required as the events progress. We also
have access to a great line of sight roof right across the street from
Davis and Sherman (which cannot provide bandwidth). Your involvement
will help a lot.
l plan on visiting Ridge Hall today.
l hope you can help!
