Our Stable Networks

Description

What does a "stable" deployment of a community mesh network look like?

During this session, we will look at successful community wireless projects around the world, see how they are structured, both organizationally and technologically.

In particular, participants will learn what a stable implementation of a People's Open Network might look like directly from the people building one in Oakland, CA.

Finally, we will facilitate an open discussion about defining network stability and organizational values that could help maintain that stability.

Type:

Length: 2hrs, I don't think there should be a limit on participants, though it depends how we decide to structure the brainstorm session.
