Meeting Roles

Juul Spield

  • marc: meeting is sudomesh. Meetings usually about peoplesopen.net, which is one of the projects we work on. Disaster.radio is another project that is newer and also cool. peoples open network has been going for several years. and is about building last-mile infrastructure for people to build and own their own internet infrastructure. we use long range wireless links--directional gear mounted on rooftops.
  • 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
  • guifi - similar, bigger, network in Barcelona
  • Open Q&A ensued
