[Commotion-discuss] Material for a workshop on mesh networks

[Alexander Chemeris]

Ryan,

That would be great!
Tomorrow (Thurs) or the day after (Fri) morning your time / evening my
time would be ideal for me. What is your preferred date/time?

I'm available on IRC, Skype and Hangouts, whichever is easier for you.
