[Freedombox-discuss] Article on Commotion Wireless software by Open Technology Initiative

[Rick]

Thanks Chris, good article.

This is awesome (excerpt from the linked article)

*There are plenty of protocols already in use that tell devices how and
where to relay information. For instance, the Optimized Link State Routing
(OLSR) protocol, which Commotion plans on employing, is currently being used
in a grassroots MANET called FunkFeuer, based in Vienna. FunkFeuer has 1200
nodes—both personal devices and dedicated rooftop wireless routers—and was
created by tech-savvy citizens as a test network for OLSR. "We’ve made it
massively scalable," says Aaron Kaplan, one of the founders of FunkFeuer.
"We’ve been using it to have a community wireless network, and it’s been
running very well."*
