|
|
|
+<p>Commotion is a project that helps communities use cheap wireless
|
|
|
+hardware and open-source software to build their own network
|
|
|
+infrastructure. These networks can help spread cheap internet access, as
|
|
|
+well as provide a powerful alternative to traditional networks through
|
|
|
+providing local services, local ownership, and resilience. At this
|
|
|
+workshop, one of Commotion's developers will walk participants through
|
|
|
+the process of organizing, designing, and building their own networks.
|
|
|
+Additionally, we will talk about the technology behind community
|
|
|
+networks, and the rich history of such networks throughout the world.</p>
