Report Back from Open Garden

It was interesting! They're doing low-level bluetooth meshing mostly to facilitate access to the internet. A lot of the folks at the event were more interested in community networks/mesh level applications. Tried to get some of those folks excited about our project.

Random Notes

Some folks took picostations home to hack on openwrt with.

Helen mentioned that for ~$1mil we coul have 5ish satellites providing mesh connectivity across the world!
