[manchesterwireless] Manchester Wireless Meetings

[M.B.Gaved]

go for it Manchester folks!

>I am not aware of any other project that started, finished and is still running on a daily basis?

Seems like James and the guys are doing ok with Boundless - http://boundless.coop/

How about Redbricks and Yellowbricks? how are they doing these days?

I see 3-C just won a grant for training over at Hebden Bridge so I guess they are ticking along: http://www.3-c.coop/news/3-c-news21.html
 
Community Broadband Network has had a fair bit of traffic on it : http://www.broadband-uk.coop/
- a variety of groups in there from small businesses to pressure groups to folk closer  to Manchester Wireless in nature  but they've always been friendly and helpful when I've chatted to them.

vortex is still running East End Net: http://www.free2air.org/section/eastendnet

Athens Wireless Network: http://www.athenswireless.net/

Guada Wireless in Spain: http://guadawireless.net/ - didn't one of the guys from there come over to Manchester Wireless at some point? 

a few for starters, though maybe I am not sure by your definition, go for it! 

all the best
Mark

I help on Digcoop - a shared community network connecting 29 properties in a housing association in London, via wires and wireless, offering shared low cost internet access and an intranet, started 2001 and we're still ticking along :-)

You are quite correct!
Hence John's (jgxhs at nessie.mcc.ac.uk) last post.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of talk, but not a lot of action.
Some of the work Darren and Harry were undertaking were indevelopment with varying results. These were personal projects and not necessarily part of the what the group wanted to achieve.

Warrington Wireless was a success and still is (but again a personal project). I am not aware of any other project that started, finished and is still running on a daily basis? Warrington Wireless was my project but wasn't to offer free net access, but instead share the cost. The project is actively running as a private network.

> If this isn't the case, then what is the case?

There is no longer a case and no one seems to know what Manchester Wireless is all about now? Hence, if this gets back into operation, the entire group, projects and aims need a radical rewrite.

HARRY? DARREN STORER? GED et al? You lot still around?

Andy :)
