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.
Cooperation
- 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 =)
Working with the City
- Hard to get the combination of excited and capable from city govts
- Litmus test: can we get on the roof of the building we're in?
- Always call it an experiment, pilot (so they have coverage)
- Deborah costa (san leandro)
- Two requirements: free and fast
- "we don't want your money, we want your rooftops"
- Hard to understand you're not a vendor, but a potential partner
- Scenario that is most persuasive: Upset villagers w/ pitchforks and the community org saving them
