Christian Siefkes discusses the presentation by Johan Soderbergh, of Hacking Capitalismfame, on the Ronja project, which failed both because a commercial fork, because issues in open hardware licensing, and I would argue, for introducing forced reciprocity into peer production. “Johan Söderberg talked about the Czech open hardware project Ronja. RO...
This seems like a failure of political-economic model, (or "business model"), rather than a failure of technology or licensing. One possible approach could have patent the designs and issue an open license for any non-commercial use, obliging commercial users to get permission and negotiate a royalty agreement. Ideally, this would be implemented th...
Main tool is LibreMesh firmware: based on OpenWrt, eases the creation of WiFi communities, and enables existing communities to add roaming clouds to their networks. The firmware (the main piece) will allow simple deployment of auto-configurable, yet versatile, multi-radio mesh networks.
You now find Wi-Fi devices in virtually everything—somebody told me the other day that they bought a bathroom scale with Wi-Fi. Moreover, all over the world, people are building meshed Wi-Fi networks to build their own Internet infrastructure. In Africa, however, ...
Example: "Eduroam is an international WiFi roaming service for members of education institutions. It is useful for visiting scholars and for students using libraries of different universities.
