Hi Vesna, and welcome!

I think this is a good opportunity for all of us to introduce ourselves, as this list is growing quickly!

I'm Jenny, working out of the Sudo Room hackerspace in Oakland. We're in the early stages of building a mesh network, the documentation for which can be found on our wiki here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh

My background is in Anthropology and Communication, and with regards to the mesh project I'm most interested in the documentation and community education & outreach components - though I'm enjoying learning about the hardware and software aspects of building a network, also :) For money, I work at a startup called Open Garden, which has created a free app for sharing internet between mobile devices.

I was just in Berlin for the International Summit on Community Wireless Networks, where we had some great discussions on developing a Network Commons License and Free Network Definition. After this week, I'll have settled back in at my home base and will contribute more to the conversation.

Would love to make it to 30c3 - do they offer travel scholarships ever? ^_^

Someone go next!

Jenny

Hi,

I'm Vesna, from Technologia Incognita hackerspace in Amsterdam

"mwfc" asked me if I would be interested to join your effort.
Yes, I like it a lot, and I will be happy to contribute.
Perosnally, I am very much interested in decentralized networking.

However, that would be on the totally personal title,
since I work for RIPE NCC, but I will *not* be representing RIPE NCC.

Since I have many years of experience with the RIPE community, I can give advice on who to approach and how to cooperate with the RIPE community.

As for the practical work contribution: I will be participating in 30c3,
so I suggest that we make one or two meetings / working group sessions / hackathons at 30c3, to get together and get more work done. That's not online yet, so when it is I can do that part.

Other then that, I will talk with my contacts in the peering community to see if they can contribute with knowledge and experience.

Looking forward to working together,
Vesna
