[manchesterwireless] Anyone still active?

[M.B.Gaved]

hi all

I'm still around, still down in Milton Keynes and keen to chip in on the list and share ideas. Still learning!

what have I been up to? ooh...

- Digcoop in Hackney is still going strong, we've got 50 subscribers in 29 properties, just coming up to our 6th birthday in November. 

- Set up Mehetnet in Hackney 3 years ago - bit of a struggle but now ticking over with about a dozen subscribers in 2 streets.

- Helped out the Open University where I am studying with a wireless network, so mobility impaired students can take part in geology field trips -"ERA"
http://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/era/
... just finished the second year of operation, started last summer, and looks like they want to do more wireless networking in future

Still got a lot to learn though so up for knocking ideas around still... just finishing PhD writing on community networks, will let you know when it's done and out there.

regards and best wishes to all
Mark

The great majority of the people subscribed to this list are a bunch
of gonna do time wasters who never achieve anything. Now prove me
wrong.
