Announcing: NYCwireless Connected Neighborhood Initiative
Presentation by Dana Spiegel (Executive Director) and Joe Plotkin
(Board member)
We will present NYCwireless' plans to help under-served communities
by building Open Community Networks. Expanding on the success of the
three Community Access projects over the last 2 years, this will be a
much more ambitious effort, and require substantial financial support
thru donations.
The NYCwireless Connected Neighborhood initiative will serve to
demonstrate that we all benefit when all citizens are connected.
Consequently, we intend Connected Neighborhoods to act as a model and
catalyst for widespread participation by government, community groups
and citizens of all ages.
NYCwireless will introduce our Inaugural Open Community Network, and
outline the deployment plans as well as the tools and training that
will be part of this project.
Topics covered will include:
Technology choices
Site survey
Installation
Training
Fund-raising
Volunteers
Timetable
Jo Walsh:
http://map.wirelesslondon.info/ is the thing we've just built which
has wifidog-client support and provides a fair bit to look at...
http://mappinghacks.com/ has a pile of links to the geospatial
oriented stuff we've done lately
Rob Kelley:
A chance to review WiFiDog in action--client and server--and then
test out creating your own WiFiDog hotspot. There's a five minute
demo and then a working session after the presentations.
