Some folks on the Seattle Meshnet project want to speak to what's going on?
It's an opportunity to coattail off this news to get the word out about
community-owned networks and how we can do it right. Also a warning to how
we should go about our own deployment and next steps. Double concurrence
with the Doctor!
