[manchesterwireless] Manchester Wireless Meetings

[M.B.Gaved]

no worries! 

Thought I'd just chip in with some links to groups I've come across that seem to be ticking along at the moment.

Do you know if the Redbricks and Yellowbricks guys made a wireless link between their groups? When I came up to a Manchester Wireless meeting a couple of years ago this was being talked about, did anything come of it? I was under the impression that MW was going to help setting that up.

cheers, good luck with it. 

Mark

Sorry, meant to say projects that Manchester Wireless members have been 
invloved in and got up and running :)

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 :)
