Ive just added my node to the nodedb. There are now 2
active nodes in the Hebden Valley, and 2 Speculative -
http://www.consume.net/nodedb.php?pos_x=397101&pos_y=428752&action=recenter&old_scale=20&scale=20&old_size=480&size=480&map.x=345&map.y=280
Im sure there must be more people in Hebden Bridge who
use wireless and so i wonder if there are any ways in
which we could find them and have them add their
nodes. I guess we could get some flyers together and
do a bit of a house drop to encourage people to buy
wi-fi equipment and join the network - maybe we should
get some good ideas for joining wireless so that we
could post some flyers.
It may then also be useful if those people who have
operations nodes to do a bit of a "war walk" to see
just how far their nodes transmit. This way we can get
a better idea of our current catchment area.
A possible war-drive could also unvail some nodes -
give me an email if anybody is up for tha :)
I was also wondering about what the best sort of
aerials are and if maybe myself and Waterside 15 could
get a connection between our nodes.
What sort of distance do you think a rooftop TV aerial
would get?
I think it would also be a good time to get a set of
network rules sorted out before things take off, such
as node naming, access, logging, net-sharing,
submittion channels, protocol for joining the network
etc.
We should also maybe get a more regular meeting set
up, such as the first thursday night of each month or
something.
