Hi friends, As you probably know by now, I'm currently working with the Open Technology Institute to design use cases and user stories around Tidepools<http://tidepools.co>, a mobile mapping platform for community mesh networks. Below is a talk recently delivered at an FCC conference on network resilience by Georgia Bullen, my primary mentor in the project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rwfpihsjUY&feature=youtu.be ...which also exemplifies the social process by which mesh networks can be effectively implemented. To see where I'm at in this research, feel free to stop by this wiki <http://wiki.tidepools.co>. Looking forward to meeting with y'all again on Thursday!
