From: Preston Rhea <preston.r...@gmail.com> I need your help for a project that will bring me to 10 cities to teach folks how to organize mesh networks. I'd like to contact the brigade captains and organizers in these cities to build relationships:
Bay Area > Reno > Salt Lake City > Denver > Omaha > Chicago > Cleveland > Pittsburgh > Martinsburg > DC My proposal, Community Wireless Across America (http://crowdhitch.millennialtrain.co/campaign/detail/1330), is to teach civic technologists in those 10 cities how to organize and maintain wireless mesh networks. We'll share tools and methods for participatory technology pedagogy, and the routers that we set up together will remain with people in those cities to seed their own mesh networks. With these seeds spread, organizers and technologists can continue to grow locally-managed networks and spur innovation on a shared platform accessible to any resident. In order to do the project, I have to raise $9,000 by July 1. That’s $900 per city - hoping that CfA participants will be interested in coming out to learn and spread decentralized access to the Internet and local platforms. Here is more about the Millennial Trains Project (http://millennialtrain.co/) and my donation page: http://crowdhitch.millennialtrain.co/campaign/detail/1330 Cheers and looking forward to hearing from you, Preston -- Too many emails?
