[sudo-discuss] East Bay Community Wireless Mesh

[Marc Juul]

The sudo room mesh networking group has gotten to the point where we are
nearly ready to launch a free community wireless network in the east bay!

We will be launching the first part of the network with 100+ wifi nodes,
and we need your help to raise the money! Even a single dollar helps!

  https://www.wepay.com/donations/oakland-community-mesh-network

Even if you can't contribute monetarily, please consider forwarding this to
your friends / social network of choice.

We will provide a free wireless network controlled and maintained by the
local community. The network will be used it to provide both local
community services, post-disaster backup connectivity and free internet
connectivity focusing on the less connected communities.

We are also looking for new members. What you can do to help:

*Do you have access to a rooftop or tower where we can mount an antenna to
make the mesh reach further? Do you know anyone who does?

*Do you want to adopt a node, either for mounting on the outside of your
apartment/house or in your window?

*Do you want to run an indoor node in your home? Maybe the router you have
is already compatible!

*Do you want to help with community outreach? We want to engage the local
communities and need your help to reach more people.

*Can you help with design of fliers or websites?

We meet every Thursday evening at 8:30 pm at sudo room, and everyone is
welcome to join!

If you're more interested in donating equipment directly, look at our
wishlist:
