[Mesh] Business cards and outreach

[Mitar]

Hi!

Just a comment. For wlan slovenija we were considering having business
cards unique to each person, but then we discovered that this would be
quite problematic because of the open nature of such networks and
because each printing costs. So what about people who cannot afford
their own cards with their name? Or will the network print for them?

This is why we decided for one design for everybody, where second side
of the card is so that you can write any note you want on it before you
give the card. Or your contact or whatever.

And then we can really give them around to anybody who wants them and
wants to promote the network further. Without having to determine if
they satisfy any conditions or not. You call yourself a mesh person -
here are cards, use them.
