* Lots of questions about where things stand with PTPs aims. Talk of MANs really got folks talking. Phase one, set up hotspots, phase two, tie em together. Lots of talk about schools and community centers. Given the state of the state getting some sort of value added boxes with wifi into these places seems a great way to get good pr and more nodes. * Some good use of netstumbler. Used it to see how each others cards were behaving as well as to test out Berts cool Dlink Repeater/AP * Freegeek came up as a unisys " clonearmy " box was show off. It is cheaper than many solutions, but the moving parts will make it a no sell to the solid staters. Still its a good cheap alternative. |
