[Commotion-discuss] Mesh networks and Commotion in the New York Times

This is really exciting!  What's truly important is that we all continue to
point reporters to everyone else doing awesome work in this space.  The
interconnections amongst projects and initiatives is what makes our movement
strong and garners interest from the press.

With Commotion gearing up to release v1.0 to ring in the new year, I expect that
we'll be highlighting the work of numerous allies around the globe when
reporters start calling.  We definitely need more leads on projects and
initiatives that are deploying Commotion (by design, we have no way to track
Commotion users, so we don't necessarily know where the technology is being
deployed).

Also, in the past, sudden, unexpected press exposure has sometimes led to equally sudden floods of emails and phone calls to effect of "Hey, I live 10 km away, can you put an antenna on my roof tomorrow?" or even more sinister stuff like "You're breaking the law!"  Maybe it's just a Missouri thing.
