For Freifunk/Google Summer of Code, please check out our Ideas or documentation at GSoC . Freifunk (German for Free Radio) is an initiative to support the development of tools for free mesh networks. Besides that the initiative supports communities developing know-how to set up their own networks.
Netsukuku is the name of an experimental peer-to-peer routing system, developed by the FreakNet MediaLab (Italian) in 2006, created to build up a distributed network, anonymous and censorship-free, fully independent but not necessarily separated from the Internet , without the support of any server , ISP and no central authority. It does not rely on a backbone router, or on any routing equipment other than normal network interface cards. [ edit ] Basic idea Netsukuku aims to build a fully distributed network that does not rely on single points of failure as the actual Internet.

Introduction In the wake of major disasters, the failure of existing communications infrastructure and the subsequent lack of an effective communication solution results in increased risk, inefficiencies, damage and casualties. Current options such as satellite communication are expensive and have limited functionality. A robust communication solution should be affordable, easy-to-deploy, require low-to-zero infrastructure, consume little power and facilitate Internet access. LifeNet is a WiFi-based data communication solution designed for post-disaster scenarios.

Project Kleinrock - OmegaSDG Project Wiki
Following are the details of a project to create a completely autonomous "second layer" of the Internet, completely free of the influence of or need for Internet Service Providers, and untouchable by the government. This plan is named after Leonard Kleinrock, inventor of the Internet Packet. It has been enacted after news of a bill entering the United States Senate which would allow a President to disable all Internet connectivity within the United States.
Posted by venessa miemis on Friday, February 11, 2011 · 46 Comments For those interested in alternative internet infrastructures, I’ve been assembling a list of projects and initiatives working to build mesh network solutions, as well as communities and resources around this topic. I’ve also posted this on Quora . Please feel free to add any projects I’ve missed. We’re hoping to understand the landscape of this initiative and how these projects & communities can better coordinate their efforts, in preparation for the Contact Conference in NYC this October 20, 2011.

DIY Mesh Guide - WirelessAfrica
Building a Rural Wireless Mesh Network A do-it-yourself guide to planning and building a Freifunk based mesh network About The Guide Building a Rural Wireless Mesh Network Reliable, affordable and easy access to telecommunication services for all has been identified as key to social and economic development in Africa.Mesh Network Hardware Giveaway
Sagrad, Inc. announces a free hardware giveaway in support of mesh network research. By eliminating one of the largest costs in testing mesh network performance, Sagrad, Inc. seeks to accelerate development of complex mesh system designs.
Open Source software might not be as visible in the telecom world, but its impact is slowly but surely being felt . A series of projects are tackling complicated products such as high-end switches, while others are cooking up DNS, Firewall and VPN gear. In fact start-ups such as Vyatta and Digium have based their entire business model on open source software. Add another name to the movement investing in open platforms. Meraki Networks , a Mountain View, Calif.-based startup is building a business off of hardware and software based on MIT’s Roofnet project .

Avec Open Mesh les humains sont les routeurs (et sauvent les révolutions)
Ayant tiré ses propres conclusions de la révolte tunisienne, l’Égypte décida, le 28 janvier dernier, de couper Internet pour neutraliser les moyens de communication et ainsi contrecarrer les manifestations anti-Moubarak. Et tout d’un coup, ce qui était un extraordinaire avantage devint une formidable faiblesse. Comment faire dès lors pour se prémunir d’une telle décision radicale et continuer à assurer l’un des droits de plus en plus fondamental de ce nouveau millénaire ? Comme pour la Freedom Box , une piste de solution est à rechercher du côté du réseau maillé avec l’originalité de jouer nous-mêmes le rôle de routeurs Internet [ 1 ] : « L’idée fondatrice d’ OpenMesh est que nous puissions utiliser de nouvelles techniques pour créer un réseau Internet secondaire dans les pays comme la Libye, la Syrie, l’Iran, la Corée du Nord et d’autres régimes répressifs dans lesquels les citoyens ne peuvent pas communiquer librement.ROBIN OSS mesh network
ROBIN (ROuting Batman Inside) is an Open Source mesh network project, developed on top of OpenWRT kamikaze, running on any Atheros AP51 routers such as Meraki Mini or La Fonera and using the BATMAN routing algorithm. ROBIN is a zero-configuration appliance (plug & play solution): all you need isalmost one DSL upstream DHCP capable router offering Internet connectivity where you connect a node (acting as gateway node), others nodes (client repeaters) have only to be powered on. Within a couple of minutes the mesh-cloud is raised up and self mantained, every repeater node wirelessly spread the gateway DSL connection through its open and WPA-PSK Access Points. Images can be obtained merging/adding SVN files with OpenWrt kamikaze trunk and using .config file available in SVN.Wondering if batman mesh would work for this area or this setup. I am using Ubiquiti pico2 for the whole mesh. Area coverage to start is 1/2 mile. 1 mile later down the road. To start there will be only 1 gateway in the center which I have a 3 meg pipe (ptp link from our main noc.) My question is can the mesh firmware in its current state handle 100 or so nodes?

When technology becomes cheap enough to be effectively disposable, interesting things happen. Lithium batteries, rare earth magnets and high-intensity LEDs are all pretty young technologies. But all of them are also now cheap enough that people with a few spare bucks can combine all three into cheerful little rainbow-coloured magnetic fireflies - " LED throwies ". Throwies still cost around 50 cents each, even when you buy your batteries, LEDs and magnets in bulk. But a couple of hundred of 'em can go a long way. The other day, I was considering what it'd take to make a solar-powered LED throwie.Germany warns citizens to avoid using Wi-Fi - Green Living, Environment
I think we need to start a team on the WIFI Cellphone radiation / Waves problems and healthe matters... I called it electrosmog -> http://pear.ly/U2Fr ALL WELCOME \o/ by Jul 4
it's a question I am asking, my experience of lobbying shows a taste from the market to adapt their environment, and not the other way around. No conspiracy theory, just a question ^^ by Jul 3
Sorry, coincidence with what? Do you mean this announcement (that wifi may be dangerous) could have something to do with the rise of mesh networking? by Jul 3
