Hi all,
I recently started working the communications front for a super rad startup
called Open Garden. Essentially, OG is a mobile broadband network that uses
p2p mesh technology to provide internet connectivity between smartphones,
laptops and tablets.
Last night I hopped on a call with some folks in India who run a nonprofit
to help rural farmers tackle problems like soil testing, crop planning,
seed recommendation, etc; They're planning to install Open Garden on their
Android tablets and phones, pooling local networks of 2G and occasionally
3G mobile data to provide internet connectivity to the tablets.
It's a great team doing exciting work. Hit me up if you'd like to hear
more, or check out the link below. And btw, if you're looking for work and
want to hear about more opportunities, join the sudo-jobs mailing list
here: http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-jobs
