Hi network managers-

Peoplesopen Network can help with meshing all Co-op properties.

Hi-

l got your contact information from visiting Sherman Hall & Davis House 
today.

l work with a community wireless mesh network based in north Oakland 
called Peoplesopen Network. There are hate speakers invited on campus by 
the UCB administration expected in the next week. l and some other folks 
want to set up a mesh that covers campus (esp. the vicinity of Sproul 
Plaza) during the anticipated events to provide internet connectivity. 
The CalVisitor network has terrible coverage as is, and it has been 
observed that the school stops service during some events. Supplementing 
existing wireless infrastructure in events like these is exactly why 
community mesh networks exist. It significantly increases safety for 
everyone in the area. l write to ask you guys for help with setting up a 
node (or more) that will provide bandwidth.

The node(s) need(s) not be permanent, (but we'd be happy to maintain 
them, love them and make them part of the existing project if they 
were.) We plan to have sneakernet nodes (humans carrying nodes) bounce 
the signal to where service is required as the events progress. We also 
have access to a great line of sight roof right across the street from 
Davis and Sherman (which cannot provide bandwidth). Your involvement 
will help a lot.

l plan on visiting Ridge Hall today.
l hope you can help!
