The Mass Mesh Net folks have come down from their euphoria at what a success the Freedom Rally network was.\u00a0 Pirate Will, Stephen and Pirate Peter put in so much time to keep the network humming along and tell people about what MassMesh and the Pirate Party are doing.\u00a0 Thanks to Molly from the FSF for coming by with\u00a0some Day Against DRM flyers.<\/p>\n
Mass Mesh\u00a0didn’t log regular network statistics (that is something they plan to improve on), but it looks like they had hundreds of people use the network over the two days it was up. The network saw speeds of 6-8 Mb\/sec on Saturday and 30-36 Mb\/sec on Sunday after Will and Stephen better aligned the dish to the Internet. \u00a0They\u00a0got connectivity on the hill overlooking the rally and even as far as the 7-Eleven outside Boston Common.\u00a0 Freedom Rally was a great test of the software and hardware they are using to bring free WiFi access to communities across Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
There are\u00a0left over flyers. Email info@masspirates.org<\/a>\u00a0and we\u00a0will mail some to spread around your neighborhood.<\/p>\n The Mass. Mesh Net weekly tech meetups are every Tuesday, 7-9pm generally (though not this upcoming Tuesday) at\u00a0Industry Lab<\/a>, 288 Norfolk St, Cambridge.
