Do any of you have experience with community mesh networking? It seems like a fun time and a good way to connect with people (socially and technically lol) in the community. Not to mention the possibility of providing at least limited internet access to people who can’t access it by conventional means for whatever reason. A community mesh network might also have organizing possibilities - especially because the state or the cops or a company can’t just shut it off or look inside it as easily
I have some friends willing to run nearby 802.11 nodes… not enough though
Probably would have to start out with a much more mixed network architecture… maybe point-to-point radio links between the people in my city initially interested in running nodes, packet radio on the local ham bands, LoRa or something, etc…
Idk if enough people would be interested but I’ll have to ask around when I’m back home
