Join us this weekend to build local services for peoplesopen.net!

People's Open Network endeavors to provide communication services, so that it offers value to its users beyond mere connectivity to the Internet. What can be done to help strengthen ties among Oakland residents, and to benefit the community?

Services (such as maps, file-sharing, email, contacts, and calendar) should be provided based on existing free/open source software. See some ideas and examples here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Distributed_Services

Chat with us here: https://peopleopen.net/chat

Coordinate here: https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/hackathon

Post code here: https://github.com/sudomesh

Learn more about deploying services on the network via this tutorial: https://github.com/sudomesh/babeld-lab/blob/master/services_guide.md

This is a 48-hour ongoing hackathon - we welcome participation in any form, even if you don't code!

Mad love and, as always, HACK THE PLANET!
