I found his approach to teaching children about plastic/oil interesting.

Where Mesh != 802.11s but rather an adhoc, self healing, self
organizing routable network.
Imagine a world where Sugar on a Stick machines can communicate on the
same network as an XO laptop. A world where mesh capabilities are
hardware agnostic allowing anyone to bring up a mesh network
Just another future possibility...

Hi Reuben,
Consider the benefits of using open source software versus our
closed source firmware and partnering with communities like
Freifunk whose network is ~ 800 node, guifi.net is almost 10k
nodes in Barcelona, Athens Wireless is 5k nodes.
The fact that a custom mesh

The fact that a custom mesh algorithm would have to run on the CPU --
prohibiting any kind of idle-suspend -- makes it a non-starter for an
XO deployment in my eyes. Did you have any thoughts on this?
Hi Chris,
Great point. Thank you for

The largest of our mesh problems did not have to do with
scalability on sheer number of nodes but rather scalability in
density. Is there any information available on how these networks
perform when there are 50 - 100 of them next all in the same room
or in adjacent rooms?
Yes! And the

Thanks keeping me on track.
I'm talking about comparison to an AP. Overall we currently don't
have much need for mesh as most of our scenarios are a dense cloud

BTW Richard, as far as I remember the problems with 802.11s seemed to be:
1) the standard is not a standard and it was intentionally crippled
2) the drivers were very b0rked and broken (and Marvel did a terrible job
with the driver software)
Scalability to less than 30 laptops
