Sometime Today, Jayanta Chandra assembled some asciibets to say:
> Is Jayanta C your friend?

> Please respond or Jayanta may think you said no :(
If you know Jayanta, please let him know that we said no and that he is
no longer a member of this list.
Thank you.
Hello All,
Mr. Rony will post details of today's session along
with other links. The document for Wireless Mesh has
been updated and is available at
http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh
There are plans for the next week too, but they aren't
confirmed. However, if we (GLUG-BOM members) do plan
to meet up, I'll request you to come up with resources
(GNU/Linux, Free documents etc.) that can be shared
across the mesh network and accessible to those who
want them. (atleast indirectly).
We had two mesh clients (if that is the correct
terminology, technically) as Sabayon Linux on one
laptop and Microsoft Windows XP on another and tried
downloading distros (600 MB and above) with speeds
ranging from 300 KiloBytes / second - 700 KB / second.
(Statistics from Mozilla Firefox, with its default
download manager).

No, I meant that what I thought I saw in Dharamsala,
was a bunch of people running OLSR on their machines,
and becoming part of the Berlin mesh.

Hello List,
Apparently, I have been notified of changes to wiki
pages constantly by some unknown / unregistered
usernames who don't seem to change anything on the
page (according to the page history).
Does this indicate that there are hidden bots
attacking the wiki or is it simply something else that
I am unaware of?
Any wikipedian (on this list) aware of what it could
be? What could be done to solve it?

Hi all, particularly those who attended the workshop on 31st March and
1st April, and last saturday Rony, Jtd resumed the work.
Status:
Last saturday we successfully managed to get the mesh working. Actually
the mesh works out of the box like a charm. We only used several of our
legacy skills and actually wasted lot of time. But at the end every
moment spent was useful. We now know exactly what to communicate to
others who wish to setup such a mesh (mess ;-) successfully.
The dhcp on wireless was not working as of Saturday, but today afternoon
I tried based on a reply from the olsr-users mailing list. Again it
worked out of the box.
What I did:
installed a package called 'freifunk-dnsmasq', restarted it. Now we see
an additional parameter on the web interface called OLSR-DHCP: This is
where we give the DHCP share of the mesh network (not the lan network).
thats it.
Now we have a working mesh in the campus. I will write documentation
here: http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh. Please add to everything
I missed out. I will also upload few screen shots so that new teams
setting it up will find it useful.
Next step:
Prepare a server (Rony contributed a server) and dump useful resources
there for community use. Next time, gluggers can walk into our campus
and sit in our lounge with a laptop and takeaway what the server has.
If we get a list of goodies that the community needs we will begin
archiving them. So send such a request to glab(a)hbcse.tifr.res.in. we
will download them during the night time and leave it one the server.
