Here is the place to list all of the places in and around Portland that you think would be good places to try and get unwired. It would be good to list other pertinent information about the location.BR --MichaelCodanti

Done Deals!

• Lucky Lab
  • They have shown some interest, but haven't followed through yet.
  • Update 1/2/02 - Agreed to unwire!
• Pioneer Square, including coverage for the Starbucks that is there
  • Node officially announced 2/14/02

Currently Pursued

• Rose & Raindrop

  • They have shown some interest, but haven't followed through yet, and are worried about holes and stuff since it is a historic building.

• Red & Black Cafe on Division

  • Already has FreeGeek PCs and some kind (?) of internet connection

• Billy Reed's on MLK

  • JohnBartley said: They already have internet access, have a nice bar and summer patio area and William C. Reed is very cyber-aware.

• FreeGeek

  • They already have a donated DSL connection and have said that they will run a node as soon as someone donates the hardware.
• Snake and Weasel

  • ChristianSeppa said: I talked with the owner Dan and he said he'd be very interested in putting in wireless for the masses at his cafe/pub, and they've already got dsl

• Common Grounds
  • I spoke w/ the owner of Common Grounds Michelle. I explained the setup and I left contact info. I am not sure how she recieved the request. There might be an ideological difference or a lack of desire to pay for DSL and ISP services. I offered to loan her an access point and a computer. I'll follow up later after some time has passed.
