Context

Internet Archive has a 70ft-tall antenna in Richmond shooting 100mbps wifi to the citizens of Richmond, the municipal government of which is fully in support.
They are excited about the Oakland mesh and interested in contributing bandwidth to the network =)
They are currently testing out a long-distance link to Ashby.

They could possibly be another termination point if we're using openvpn or some such (tunneldigger?)
Internet Archive doesn't keep logs, and Sonic diminished =)
