[Cu-wireless] Need information for ESRI application

[Stephane Alnet]

Wendy,

Before you start spending money on anything..

- I did some mapping of CU's 802.11b spectrum a couple years ago. I 
wrote the software to take the GPS and wireless data, map them onto the 
freely-available USGS orthophotos, and publish them on a website in a 
week-end. Shouldn't take much longer to do something similar to simply 
plot CUW locations...

- At the meeting a couple weeks ago I talked with a Masters student at 
the University who was interested by the mapping project I mentioned 
above. So it sounds like other people, local to CU, are interested in 
this topic. Before we send out whoever to some expensive training, 
could we check we don't have people who already have that knowledge 
locally? (My guess is that we do.)


If mapping sounds like a valuable undertaking, then maybe we simply 
should have a working group on this. But I'm against spending money on 
books which probably are already at the library at the University, and 
on training for knowledge that's available in the community (and 
available as hands-on experience rather than simply courses).

Just my opinion, YMMV.
