I have been wanting to do this for some time and the WI-FI postings rekindled my fire. Please forgive me if this is to off topic but this seems like the best forum to post this in... In the San Francisco Bay area there is a group of individuals that have assembled a WI-FI test network for future public safety use(http://www.barwn.org/). I am looking for any individuals that would be interested in researching a somewhat similar network here in the Twin Cities. If you have a background in *nix, networking, programming, or electronics your knowledge would help turn this idea into a reality. We would be forming up as a group under our own charter and if some of my ideas aren't totally hooky, developing a new way of transmitting data over wireless. This is to become an open source based project that has the potential of revolutionizing communications. If you have an interest, please email me directly at ericebner at nsatel.net. Send me a short summary of your background, experience, and availability so I can set up a general monthly meeting time and location to start discussion of this project.
