[hackerspaces] A community wireless mesh grows in Oakland, California.

[Jenny Ryan]

Greetings,

The sudo room mesh networking group <http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh> has
gotten to the point where we are nearly ready to launch a free community
wireless network in Oakland, California!

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 to provide both local community
services, post-disaster backup connectivity and free internet connectivity
focusing on the less connected communities.

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

process, add to our growing list of tips and resources, or join the
conversation directly by signing up for our mailing
list<http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh>and stopping by to visit

Cheers,
Jenny
