'The Chateau', a shared space/building in the city centre inhabited by artists. They are keen to build a 'media lab' out of redundant/donated equipment and promote use of Open Source software solutions. And also to participate in community wireless, for which their location and easy access to roof space makes them a prime candidate for a routing node.
