Hey y'all,

I meant to respond ages ago. I'm glad this came back up. I'm Isaac
from the Grinnell group that was at the conference. (Hi Alec!)

Yes, we use BATMAN/adv in our mesh. It's not half bad, but there's
definitely room for improvement on the mesh protocol front. We're also
hacking Diaspora to work on grinnellMIND - every network needs a
killer app.

We don't have code of our own, but we contribute to global-scale
open-source projects to suit our needs. I do hope you'll explore our
wiki, though. In particular, take a look at our roadmap to network
that is owned by the whole of humanity. It could use some work, but
then, that's the whole point of a wiki!

Here's the link:

take care,
imw
