Chicago Hackmeeting to discuss city-wide wifi
Dave A. Chakrabarti
It appears that the Chicago hactivist group is planning to discuss the
wifi proposal at their meeting tomorrow.
For anyone who wants to get an eye-opening view of what technology can
do, I'd strongly suggest attending this event. It's going to be a
collection of geeks discussing disruptive / subversive technologies in
general, and it might be useful to make connections between them and our
community activists. I'll even tag along in case anyone needs a
translator from "geek" to "English", so don't let that put you off.
Let me know if anyone's interested, and I'll try to coordinate to meet
people there.
Dave.

Apologies for cross posting in advance...
We're doing a followup to the first US/Great Lakes/Chicago/Pilsen Big
HackMeeting with a Little Hackmeeting, tomorrow. It should be awesome
-- there will be a lockpicking workshop, an aerial kite photography
workshop (I'm anxiously waiting for some intrepid activist to figure out
how to hack one of this to provide realtime aerial images of protests
and actions), an introduction to PERL programming (I shudder at this,
but useful nonetheless), a discussion of Chicago's wireless plan, and
some performance later in the day/evening. Hell, I might even be
helping cook lunch.
In any event, the proceedings get underway at 10am-ish at:
dai5ychain/flowershop
2159 w 21st pl
Chicago, Il
