* marc: We use a mesh routing protocol called babel. And we use an open linux distribution for routers called OpenWRT. We have a fork of that called sudowrt-firmware, which is what we run on our routers. It tries to make these a bit easier, e.g. there is a web dashboard that shows off what your router is doing and connected to.

Firmware lets you share a slice of your internet connection publicly for your neighbors to benefit from. This way only one house on your block needs line-of-sight to another neighborhood, and the other houses can link through that one to the rest of the mesh. These routers all show a 'peoplesopen.net' wifi network.
 
* ten: East Oakland has lots of good community-owned warehouses that could be good
