Hi, We've made great progress regarding multicast support in our Freifunk firmwares. Similar to the dn42 multicast attempts we face a chicken & egg situation though: No users <-> no applications. So to me an approach to tackle this would be to increase the reach of multicast. Therefore I would like to work on making as many hackspaces and community networks interconnected via multicast. And would therefore like to do a self-organized session at the 39c3 in Hamburg end of this month. Contentwise I'm thinking about preparing some small talk, like 15-30min. to cover the basics. And then diving into a hands-on hacking and workshop session for 60-90min afterwards. Ideally we'd have an easy step-by-step guide in the dn42 wiki beforehand. But I'm not sure if that'd be ready in time, so far there are only a few bits and pieces in there. Maybe we might need to create a complete guide during the workshop in the process :-). I'm also not quite sure what best to advise about the following potential pitfall with PIM which I've documented here, which is that a unicast topology for PIM needs all routers to be PIM capable: https://wiki.dn42.dev/howto/pim-multicast-vs-unicast-issue If anyone has any experience regarding how other organizations might avoid this problem in the field I'd be very interested to hear more about it. Venue-wise I'd target an area in the 39c3 Freifunk assembly, I've heard there should be session space with a projector again like we had two years ago, so maybe for ~25-30 people. Feel free to stop by in the #dn42-multicast IRC channel and let us know if you'd be interested to join. Or if you'd be interested to do some more beta testing this month with us (be)for(e) the 39c3.
