[Rfu-barnraising] wireless

[Danielle Chynoweth]

i talked to dave young who is the technical lead for (CUWiN). i asked dave
three questions about wireless at the barnraising since we need to 
spend some time figuring out how to bring wireless into the fold.  i know 
sascha has already send some ideas to the list.  what follows are 
additional ideas (in QA format):

DC: What can volunteers do to help build wireless capacity at the 
barnraising?

DY:  
1) Set up wireless access to the IMC DSL line through the IMC building.  
2) Set up a node on the 35' RFU antenna on the roof.
3) Perhaps the city could use help constructing their nodes, although 
volunteers some times fuck it up, like they did during our node 
construction party on a fraction of our nodes.

DC: What role do you want to play at the barnraising?

DY: Offer a DIY networking workshop - a whimsical look at crazy shit you
can do with wireless, cable, and internet protocol.  I do not want to put
out fires when shit doesn't work.

DC: Will the CUWiN network (see http://meshsandbox.com/cuwin.html) be able
to stream the RFU signal on November 13th so we can demonstrate LPFM 
broadcasting over a local wireless mesh network?

DY: Probably.  We need to bring someone with audio streaming expertise in 
and test it at the end of October.
