[wsfii-discuss] [open-hw] I am visiting UK/It will be nice to meet.

Wed Oct 29 20:42:52 UTC 2008

Dear Mahabir,

Pleased to hear you are visiting London, i do hope we shall be able to 
meet up whilst you are here. Please get in contact so we can confer on 
dates etc..

Our wireless network is in Deptford - South East London and we have been 
operating and developing it over these last years in phases which began 
in 2001 with ConsumeX and has taken on most recent methods this summer 
as OWN.

Any stats for London networks have to be taken with a pinch of salt as 
they may well suggest collaborations and scale of success that are not 
really not accurate.

In my experience there are very few community networks in the UK beyond 
the scale we have in place here which is modest to say the least.

So who else is in London to meet with Mahabir?
