hello everyone, I'll tell you a little about what OpenWisp is
1. OpenWISP is a software platform designed to ease and automate the management of networks, with a special focus on wireless networks, mainly used in public wifi, mesh networks, community networks and IoT scenarios.
so with OpenWisp we can learn about the above
2. Core Values OpenWisp : 1. Communication through electronic means is a human right
: 2. Net Neutrality
: 3. Privacy
: 4. Open Source, licenses and collaboration
: 5. Software reusability means long term sustainability
3. Goals OpenWisp :
-Help to solve the problem of lack of internet connectivity by making it easy to deploy and manage low cost network infrastructure all over the world
-Bring innovation in the networking software world by emphasizing automation, modularity, reusability, flexibility, extensibility and collaboration
-Create an ecosystem of software tools that can be used to create infinite OpenWISP derivatives that can be used to make human communication through electronic means easier and more affordable
-Alleviate the problem of vendor lock-in by attempting to support multiple operating systems and hardware vendors (although we now officially support only OpenWRT derivatives, but we do have 2 experimental configuration backends for Raspbian and AirOS)
-Provide good documentation both for users and developers
-Create web interfaces that are easy to use even for people who have limited experience with computer networking concepts (note: we are very far from reaching this goal as of end of 2017)
