Recent FTN Aotearoa Meeting
Jeremy Wilson
Hi All,
Thanks for having Murray and I along to the last meeting. It’s awesome to see the project progressing. I am in the development stages of a product that is designed to run on an urban mesh Wi-Fi network and I would like to help where possible to make Wellington wireless.
I look forward to the next stage.

wanted could take part?! Please make them open source in the future.
Thanks.
As for Barcamp mobile, I think it would be a great idea to go there
with TFN. There seems to be no date and place yet though. I'll see
what they need and if I can organise that for them.
Cheers
Oliver

why would people donate their bandwidth to a small group of ICT industry people?
where's the 'community' aspect in that?

Did you tell them that you now need 3 times more money because the prices of devices tripled?

Maybe this is something for a discussion on this months Sunday BarCamp
(http://www.barcamp.org.nz/wiki-home). Since we're "hacking Meraki"
there. I do see some need to react as TFN.
Cheers Oliver
@Rimu: Anyone can use the TFN the last time I looked and I think it's
somewhat normal that developments like this get kick-started by ICT
folk first. The guys that organised the funding deserve a great thanks
from all of us for doing so! I know it's not an easy task getting
somebody to pay for something like this.
