[wsfii-discuss] Possibility to meet in London for exchange and if possible to have a quick training in wireless

Fri Apr 13 08:37:14 UTC 2007

Hi Johnathan, Thomas and all,

A meeting of any London based wlan, broadband or any old network 
development groups would be welcome. SPC.org (thats me) have meeting 
facilities in Greenwich to accommodate all comers.. how about first week 
of May ? (though not 5th)

Oh, just to clarify,

Wirelesslondon and then .info was established in response to Julian 
Priests recommendations made in 'State of wireless London' 
http://informal.org.uk/people/julian/publications/the_state_of_wireless_london/
and set out to expose the popularity and propagation of open wireless 
and community networks in the London area not least those inspired by 
propositions first set out at consume.net in 2000.

Consume.net has been reanimated this year in anticipation of development 
activity following the  wireless community weekend in Berlin later this 
month and later at the catalonia WSFII event in July.. In the meantime a 
few users have returned to update their entries in the UK nodemap which 
is by todays standards antiquated though still functional. A meta 
mapping and configuration utility for open wireless networks is so 
overdue, perhaps the guifi.net model is one we can extend to wherever we 
work.

We have a very active and growing community wireless network in Deptford 
area of south east London where I live called Boundless.coop with 40 + 
meshed nodes, perhaps the largest contiguous mesh network in the UK 
certainly in London (correct me please) this is despite the many claims 
to the contrary made by the London Boroughs and numerous commercial 
actors. Its weekly open workshop is on Wednesdays 2-8pm

easy
