How To Get Involved

PersonalTelco is always seeking active participation from members of the community. Here are some of the things that we're looking for:

Space

If you own a business or operate any public space where people can sit and enjoy free wireless internet access, consider starting a Node.

Equipment

• Wireless networking hardware
• Network adapters and CAT5 cable
• Laptops

We may consider donations of other computer hardware as needs arise. Also, have you looked at FreeGeek?

Skill

We could use a little bit of everything, but if you have knowledge of TCP/IP networking, wireless networking, web design, and software development of all flavors but particularly for Linux and handheld platforms, and you have a bit of time and energy to spare we'd love to hear from you. Less geeky skills such as carpentry and the ability to string wire are also needed from time to time. Check back here often if you'd like to help out.

Your Project

If you're planning a project that is completely consistent with the aims and purpose of PersonalTelco (i.e. you're going to create a Node and you don't plan to charge for its use), please edit this page and list the contributions you're looking for.

OK: I have a small web business (http://SportsDataBase.com) and would like to set up a node at my house (SE 20th and Alder St.). I have limited linux skills and am looking for a local guru to help me get set up. If you are willing, please e-mail me at jameyer@SportsDataBase.com. Thanks, Joe Meyer
