Wireless free information system successfully setup.
by Rony 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hello All, On Saturday 14th April 2007 we successfully setup the wireless mesh running the free information server. This time the OLSR protocol was also loaded into 2 laptops that acted as additional nodes. The server machine with Apache2 was loaded with CD and DVD isos in the /var/www/ folder and we could visit the machine through the mesh and access the web page with all the isos. So finally we were having tea in the canteen and downloading Linux isos on our laptops. The linux laptop got a speed of 1.2 Mbps to 800 Kbps and the windows laptop got abot 500 Kbps. We can work on the speed part. What a nice day to start the free information network. It was the 'Jayanti' of Dr. Ambedkar who wanted to empower the people with freedom and knowledge. The full setup is available at http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh - Regards, Rony.

Signup procedure for the wiki
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 15 Apr '07

Hi, Is it possible to have a stronger signup procedure for the wiki? I think something as simple as email confirmation should do the trick. Simply entering a username and password is making it really simple for bots to play havoc. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.tk

Old distros cds! Interested?
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hey, I have a few old Kubuntu CDs and few new ones even lying around. Where old = 5.10 and new = 6.10. I have some ed/ubuntu - 6.10 as well. Now if anybody is interested please ping me offlist, we can arrange a meeting or meet during a lug meet or some such and I can give you the cds then. And before somebody says - ohhhh those are old, why would I need those? Umm, you think. maybe old hardware or whatever. I am sure there might be some use other than distributing those to autorickshaw drivers in Panvel. Btw, those 5.10 Kubuntu CDs, were sent directly by Jonathan Riddell because those days there was no shipit for kubuntu or whatever. Cheers!

Wireless Mesh - Progress and success
by Roshan 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

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). -- S K Somaiya College of ASC - http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in Send a FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Yahoo!
