Just in time for tonight's meeting (I hope), here's
the tabulation of my roll-call for people interested
in working towards the two broad goals of an independant
metro wireless network, and coordinated hotspot deployment.
I had to interpolate some replies, so apologies in advance
for any mistakes. Perhaps these groups can take some
time to get together at/after tonight's meeting.
1. A metro-wide network, capable of
moving bits independant of existing
wired networks.
The goal is to create a stand-alone,
free, network capable of moving large
numbers of bits around the Twin Cities;
including areas where broad-band is not
a viable option.
This network may host services such as
ftp servers, gaming servers, etc etc.

2. Coordinated hot-spot deployment.
The goal is to provide wireless Internet
access throughout the Twin Cities. Upstream
connection from the hot-spot to the Internet
may be wired or wireless. Provide a common
authentication interface, and standardised
client configs.
