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

[Yosem Companys]

From: Jenny Ryan <jenny at thepyre.org>

The sudo room mesh networking group 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!

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:

Check out our wiki to learn more about our process, add to our growing
list of tips and resources, or join the conversation directly by
signing up for our mailing list and stopping by to visit us on IRC
(#510pen on Freenode)!

Cheers,
Jenny
