[Cu-wireless] MIT Roofnet article at TechnologyReview.com

[Sascha Meinrath]

Just a quick follow-up -- the software is open source and available for 
download at: http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/grid/software.html 

It seems to me that we may want to have one of our Linux-savvy folks take 
a look at it.  I would also love to know if there are solutions that can 
be implemented into our own software or whether we should have folks 
working on a separate fork (if people are interested).  

Thoughts?
