Sorry it's taken me a while to follow up after the last meeting...!

Those who were there know that it was a great meeting.  A bunch of
project ideas came out of it, and people informally identified which
projects they're interested in working on.  Those projects are:

1) Community portal pages & location-based information:
Gabe, Mo, Michael, Jason, Tom, Jon, ++

2) Advocacy / municipal wifi / etc.:
Michele, Mo, Omid, Hilary, Jon, Tom, Alex, Gabe, ++

3) Fun stuff / bike-mounted-wifi-enabled videocam / bakertweet / +++:
Mo, Michele, Omid, Hilary, Michele, Dave, Jon, Tom, Gabe, ++

4) Operations / new venues / auth server:
Gabe, Mo, ++

5) Helping facilitate the deployment of free wifi in highrises / co-ops / etc.:
Graham, Carol, Gabe, ++

6) Outreach
Omid, Hilary, Jon, Dave, ++

7) Kensington mesh
Jason, Michele, Mo, ++

Some links of (tech) interest:
Wifidog (which we're currently using): http://wifidog.org
Open-mesh (which we're experimenting with): http://open-mesh.com
Wifidog TNG (which is in the planning stages): http://dev.wifidog.org/wiki/TNG

---

I'd like to suggest that someone from each of those projects takes on
a coordinating role for that group.  Which might mean as little
responsibility as setting a meeting date/time.  Groups can meet at the
Centre for Social Innovation, or anywhere else... And doodle.com is a
neat way of helping agree on meeting times.

Thanks!
