(plz rsvp so we know how many folks to expect!):

Do you think internet should be a public commons rather than a corporate
monopoly?

Come over to Omni Commons to learn about the history of the internet, how
it works, and how to build your own. Meet and mingle with civic hackers and
organizers behind peoplesopen.net: an open, community-based, network in the
East Bay.
Agenda:

1:00pm - Why/what/how of the internet (< 30 minutes)

1:30pm - Snack, mingle, share and experiment

2:00pm - Hands-on workshop with a variety of learning stations such as:
rooftop mounting techniques, ethernet cable-crimping, live node link
demoing radio propagation, q&a table & non-tech signup station for
neighborhood organizers

Donations for pizza and internet are enthusiastically accepted ; )

The Omni Commons' ballroom is wheelchair-accessible via a lift in the
Entrance Hall, where there is also located a wheelchair-accessible
single-stall bathroom.
