The meeting was in Visconde de Mauá, in a house surrounded by beautiful nature called Nuvem – Estação Rural de Arte e Tecnología. A rural hack lab where various people from different countries traveled to meet each other. What all these groups had in common is their work in community based information technologies in terms of WiFi networks and GSM networks all over the world.AlterMundi was taking part in this meeting, and got the chance to see how the FumaçaOnline […]

Back in April/2015 we were awarded a Community Technology SEED Grant, funded mainly via the Open Technology Institute and with support from Allied Media Projects and the Detroit Community Technology Project All in all, it has been a great experience, since Ryan, Andy and Diana were always available to help us meet the milestones we proposed at the beginning, and demanding nothing besides minimal paperwork. The grant explicitly required that all grantees (11 in total, including us) release under open […]
Estamos planeando un encuentro multidisciplinario para el verano, y para ir ensayando vamos a empezar con una hackaton de redes libres durante las primeras 2 semanas de septiembre. Vamos a conectar comunidades alejadas mediante radioenlaces (50km de punto a punto) junto con la gente local. Y mediante talleres de apropiación tecnológica, vincular escuelas, universidades, y otras ONGs, tejiendo una red principalmente social, que a su vez construye una red digital. Desde aquel primer QuintanaCamp en febrero de 2012, en el […]
Last weekend, we held a 20-node workshop in San Isidro, a small town next to Quintana. Almost 30 people attended (with women and men in equal proportion, including some children) and collaboratively built the antennas, prepared the weatherproof enclosures, painted the poles, and soldered DIY RF pigtails, among other activities. After the initial forming of groups and task assignment, everyone was quickly up to speed, and after a few hours it was clear that the workshop would finish sooner than […]

The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, and 802.11s. Many developers and community networkers will join the event to hack, test, discuss, explain and learn. If you are interested in dynamic routing protocols or wireless community networks you can’t miss this event! The BattleMesh is free of charge and open for all, […]

A couple of days visit to Quintana, that ended up being two weeks: Gui joined Jesi and Nico on a “micro-sprint”, to help expand the local network, and at the same time do some “pair development” on Libre-Mesh.org project, to solve several longstanding firmware tasks and work on new ideas, intending to increase the momentum and get the ball rolling. Nico and Jesi drove to Buenos Aires to do some collective shopping: local funds collects were done in QuintanaLibre, AnisacateLibre, […]
I had long been wanting to get my hands dirty with the recently released ath9k spectral scan code and proof-of-concept graph tool, even more after the BattleMesh v6 where I had the invaluable opportunity of not only meeting the author (the ever smiling Simon Wunderlich), but also getting some spectral scan details patiently explained by Felix Fietkau. Furthermore, Laurent Guerby from tetaneutral.net came up with a pretty interesting idea: fetch samples once a day or so from each node, collecting […]
