It seems like they're referring to diaspora installations. Eben Moglen's http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/ project is, among other things, focusing on mesh routing.
I also like the pirate box http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox for ad hoc networks - I'm sure it would be super easy to rethink it as a connected project. (by the way Danny - if you're at Hampshire we really should get together up at UMass I've got lots of support from OIT for Free Culture and we could totally do a workshop on how to build these - as long as we didn't frame it as "how to pirate stuff") Distributed networking has gotten a lot of attention lately with all the net neutrality and "kill switch" controversy. Of course, I adamantly support anything that can redistribute determinant structures :) Zach McDowell Doctoral Candidate Department of Communication University of Massachusetts Amherst On Apr 7, 2011, at 6:44 PM, sarvōdaya wrote: > It looks interesting, and i hope it goes somewhere.
