We're currently in beta testing phase. That means that anyone can join the mesh if you're willing to help us by reporting bugs and being patient if something is broken :)
'''sudomesh is a group of volunteers operating out of [https://sudoroom.org sudoroom] at [https://omnicommons.org omnicommons]. We develop software and assemble hardware systems to help build open community networks like [https://peoplesopen.net People's Open], a community-owned and -operated non-profit internet infrastructure in Oakland.'''


You can read about our progress on our [[Mesh/Blog|blog]].
We're a community powered project. That means that anyone can join the network if they're willing to contribute by [https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/new reporting bugs], improving [https://github.com/sudmesh software], fixing hardware, [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/WalkThrough setting up a node], [https://peoplesopen.net/blog/downtown-oakland-access-point/ installing rooftop nodes], telling your friends about us, [https://peoplesopen.net/blog/build-your-own-internet-workshop/ joining for a workshop], bring pizza to a hack session, learn about how the internet works or just being patient if something is broken :)


To become part of the mesh, or for other opportunities to be participate see the [[#Join Us]] section. You do not need to be technically skilled to be part of this project. We need people willing to mount gear on rooftops, folks who want to do public outreach, graphics design artists and film-makers and so much more. Show up at a monthly general meeting and get involved!

Imagine if the wifi router in your home connected to the wifi routers in your neighbour’s homes and they again connected to their neighbours to form a huge free wireless network spanning the city! That's exactly what a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking mesh network] is, or at least what it can be. Roads and telephone poles are owned government or private interests and laying down cable is expensive but by using wireless signals that hop from building to building we can create a community owned and operated free-as-in-freedom alternative to corporate Internet Service Providers! Community wireless mesh networks are growing around the world, creating local 'internets' that support Net Neutrality and community control of critical infrastructure.


'''We are an all-volunteer organization building the People's Open Network, a community-owned and operated non-profit internet infrastructure in Oakland.'''
sudo mesh is a non-profit organization consisting of a group of unpaid volunteers who are building People's Open Network. Our mission in building open technology that helps to connect our neighbors, support local businesses, and enable community collaboration and cultural production. In the event of disaster or censorship, a mesh network can be a resilient means of communication and sharing of information.
 
People's Open Network is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking mesh network] based out of Oakland, California.
