- <h3>Workshop: Commotion Wireless</h3>
- <p><a href="https://commotionwireless.net/" target="_blank">Commotion</a> 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
