There's a simpler way to see if your project file is valid: If you look up your project file in github, the file is rendered. What you need to see is a table above the main text. It should look like this: https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents/blob/master/collections/_projects/freifunk_miktorik_metarouter.md Then your file is most probably valid for merging. You don't need to install jekyll and so on. Please add your projects ASAP, as the application period for orgs will start tomorrow. If you want to reuse ideas from last year, see this page: https://wiki.freifunk.net/Ideas_GSoC_2017 Best regards Andi On 22.12.2017 07:33, Andreas Br?u wrote: > Hi there, > > I recently updated the README on our projects content?s repository with > a description how to test your changes > locally:?https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents > > Please add your ideas ASAP as we have to start with our application on > January 4th. > > If you have any questions, please don?t hesitate to ask! > > Thanks, > > Andi > > >> Am 27.11.2017 um 23:14 schrieb Andreas Br?u > >: >> >> today I finished the work on the deployment process of the new >> projects portal.

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators."

From filipebteixeira at gmail.com Mon Jan 8 15:55:43 2018 From: filipebteixeira at gmail.com (Filipe Borges Teixeira) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 15:55:43 +0000 Subject: [Battlemesh] WBMv11 Rcon Report Message-ID: Hi all, As mentors of the WBMv11 edition, Claudio, Filipe, and Paul have traveled to Berlin in Germany from December 1-3, 2017 for the traditional reconnaissance mission, where we met the local team. This is the recon report with the main conclusions. * Main event description * As there is a big intersection of participants between the Wireless Battlemesh and Wireless Community Weekend, the idea for this year's edition is to join the forces and co-locate the two events, organizing them under a common umbrella, the "Wireless Mesh-Up". We have been working with the local team to create a rough schedule and see the best way to combine the characteristics of the two events. * Scheduling * Since we have put the two events together and keeping the same one-week WBM structure, we precede the Wireless Community weekend, which was already scheduled for 11th to 13th of May. Therefore the WBMv11 edition, together with WCW 2018 will happen from 7-13 May 2018. * Location * Since the WBMv11 will be co-located with WCW 2018, we will keep the c-base space station, Berlin, Terra as the event location. We have visited the space station to check if space was enough to fit in the targeted 100 people peak. Although space can be a little short on peak times, we believe there should be enough space during the week: we are free to use the main room, the Ceminarroom, the outdoor garden and other small spaces at ground level and at the lower level. Beverages are available on site and Barbeque will happen from Friday to Sunday. During the week there will be different food options, whether on-site or nearby. We have confirmed the sponsorship from F?rderverein freie Netzwerke e.V. that covers the room costs so far. * Internet Access * c-base is a fundamental node of Berlin's Freifunk network, so we expect no issues here. * Accommodation * Two different facilities were visited: hotel meininger at ostbahnhof and City-Stay hostel. They offer triple rooms and 4-bed dorms at affordable prices. Both locations were close to c-base by public transports. An accommodation package is under negotiation and should remain under 200 EUR. * Social Events * Social events are planned to happen from Wednesday - Friday. We have discussed some ideas, but the local team will provide more details closer to the event. * Travel * Berlin is very well connected with flights, from low-cost companies to legacy ones in two international airports: Tegel Airport (TXL) and Sch?nefeld Airport (SXF). Public transport (train) is available between airports and city center. * Cost estimation * We estimate the accommodation package to cost around 150-200 euros. There is no registration fee. *Local organization* The local core team consists of Monic Meisel, with helping hands of Andi, Cven, and others from Freifunk community The local team was very helpful and motivated, with a lot of logistic details taken care already. Recon photos available on http://downloads.battlemesh.org/WBMv11/recon_mission Further details will be given during the official announcement that will happen within some weeks. Stay tuned! Mesh Is In The Air! On behalf of the recon team and local organizers of WBMv11, Wishing you a happy new year, Filipe Borges Teixeira -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Has someone > experience with ethernet over coax and can recommend hardware for such a setup? Originally, Ethernet was *designed* to run over coaxial cable. However, I believe that is limited to 10Mbps and half-duplex, which is likely to be inadequate to serve any significant number of subscribers at anything more than "basic e-mail" standard. Putting even an office's worth of computers in the same collision domain is a recipe for disaster. Additionally, typical Ethernet hardware uses 50-ohm cable and terminators, whereas typical UHF antenna cable is 75-ohm; you'd need to find some way to match the interface impedances. Technically speaking, a miniature DOCSIS setup would be ideal for the hardware, but I assume that would be beyond any reasonable budget for a single-building deployment. In principle, it might be possible to use wifi hardware to communicate over the cable, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Wifi operates at significantly higher carrier frequencies than the UHF broadcast band, so the cable probably isn't efficient at transmitting it - *especially* in the 5GHz band which offers the best data capacity. Ultimately you might find that running fresh twisted-pair cable is easier. You can shorten cable runs by providing switches on each floor. - Jonathan Morton From guifipedro at gmail.com Fri Jan 19 13:39:53 2018 From: guifipedro at gmail.com (guifipedro) Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 14:39:53 +0100 Subject: [Battlemesh] Ethernet over Coax In-Reply-To: <20180119130312.GH2631@mi.fu-berlin.de> References: <20180119130312.GH2631@mi.fu-berlin.de> Message-ID: +1 ethernet cable: more work but better investment is to use coaxial cable as wire guide cable to deploy the new ethernet cable I know people that did this. The conclusion was that ethernet is not that expensive for what you get (vs what you get with coaxial). One installation that I know uses a device that is fairly expensive to do the conversion between coaxial to ethernet (that's why probably you would like to have ethernet), I can ask; probably these days has a lower prize. The bandwith was about 400 - 600 Mbps.

Has someone > experience with ethernet over coax and can recommend hardware for such a > setup? There are Powerline adapters that run PowerLine over 75Ohm Coax cable (via F connectors). I briefly worked with some of them (Corinex) a while ago. Original PowerLine is crappy, but running it over Coax works quite well. Still, the devices are Modems, need 10-15W and aren't cheap. The nice thing is they usually work in Multi-Slave mode, so you can have a single Master on the roof and several Slaves on the same Coax Network, splitted via typical 3/6dB TV splitters. If there's no way to run CAT cable, this is probably the next best thing. Yes, original Ethernet was 10Base Coax, but with 50-Ohms impedance and only works in Line topology. Also, DOCSIS would be nice, but that's like running your own LTE infrastructure for your wireless babyphone ;) Clemens -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We will merge the agendas of both events with respect to the traditions, which both have. Many topics do overlap anyway as well as the list of participants, so we are pretty sure we will ensure a nice experience for everyone. Regarding the local support team, we will organize a meeting with the interested members of the Berlin Community around 6-4 weeks upfront to clarify the left details then and ask for helping hands with regard to concrete tasks.

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators."

From filipebteixeira at gmail.com Mon Jan 8 16:55:43 2018 From: filipebteixeira at gmail.com (Filipe Borges Teixeira) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 15:55:43 +0000 Subject: [Battlemesh] WBMv11 Rcon Report Message-ID: Hi all, As mentors of the WBMv11 edition, Claudio, Filipe, and Paul have traveled to Berlin in Germany from December 1-3, 2017 for the traditional reconnaissance mission, where we met the local team. This is the recon report with the main conclusions. * Main event description * As there is a big intersection of participants between the Wireless Battlemesh and Wireless Community Weekend, the idea for this year's edition is to join the forces and co-locate the two events, organizing them under a common umbrella, the "Wireless Mesh-Up". We have been working with the local team to create a rough schedule and see the best way to combine the characteristics of the two events. * Scheduling * Since we have put the two events together and keeping the same one-week WBM structure, we precede the Wireless Community weekend, which was already scheduled for 11th to 13th of May. Therefore the WBMv11 edition, together with WCW 2018 will happen from 7-13 May 2018. * Location * Since the WBMv11 will be co-located with WCW 2018, we will keep the c-base space station, Berlin, Terra as the event location. We have visited the space station to check if space was enough to fit in the targeted 100 people peak. Although space can be a little short on peak times, we believe there should be enough space during the week: we are free to use the main room, the Ceminarroom, the outdoor garden and other small spaces at ground level and at the lower level. Beverages are available on site and Barbeque will happen from Friday to Sunday. During the week there will be different food options, whether on-site or nearby. We have confirmed the sponsorship from Förderverein freie Netzwerke e.V. that covers the room costs so far. * Internet Access * c-base is a fundamental node of Berlin's Freifunk network, so we expect no issues here. * Accommodation * Two different facilities were visited: hotel meininger at ostbahnhof and City-Stay hostel. They offer triple rooms and 4-bed dorms at affordable prices. Both locations were close to c-base by public transports. An accommodation package is under negotiation and should remain under 200 EUR. * Social Events * Social events are planned to happen from Wednesday - Friday. We have discussed some ideas, but the local team will provide more details closer to the event. * Travel * Berlin is very well connected with flights, from low-cost companies to legacy ones in two international airports: Tegel Airport (TXL) and Schönefeld Airport (SXF). Public transport (train) is available between airports and city center. * Cost estimation * We estimate the accommodation package to cost around 150-200 euros. There is no registration fee. *Local organization* The local core team consists of Monic Meisel, with helping hands of Andi, Cven, and others from Freifunk community The local team was very helpful and motivated, with a lot of logistic details taken care already. Recon photos available on http://downloads.battlemesh.org/WBMv11/recon_mission Further details will be given during the official announcement that will happen within some weeks. Stay tuned! Mesh Is In The Air! On behalf of the recon team and local organizers of WBMv11, Wishing you a happy new year, Filipe Borges Teixeira -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Has someone > experience with ethernet over coax and can recommend hardware for such a setup? Originally, Ethernet was *designed* to run over coaxial cable. However, I believe that is limited to 10Mbps and half-duplex, which is likely to be inadequate to serve any significant number of subscribers at anything more than "basic e-mail" standard. Putting even an office's worth of computers in the same collision domain is a recipe for disaster. Additionally, typical Ethernet hardware uses 50-ohm cable and terminators, whereas typical UHF antenna cable is 75-ohm; you'd need to find some way to match the interface impedances. Technically speaking, a miniature DOCSIS setup would be ideal for the hardware, but I assume that would be beyond any reasonable budget for a single-building deployment. In principle, it might be possible to use wifi hardware to communicate over the cable, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Wifi operates at significantly higher carrier frequencies than the UHF broadcast band, so the cable probably isn't efficient at transmitting it - *especially* in the 5GHz band which offers the best data capacity. Ultimately you might find that running fresh twisted-pair cable is easier. You can shorten cable runs by providing switches on each floor. - Jonathan Morton From guifipedro at gmail.com Fri Jan 19 14:39:53 2018 From: guifipedro at gmail.com (guifipedro) Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 14:39:53 +0100 Subject: [Battlemesh] Ethernet over Coax In-Reply-To: <20180119130312.GH2631@mi.fu-berlin.de> References: <20180119130312.GH2631@mi.fu-berlin.de> Message-ID: +1 ethernet cable: more work but better investment is to use coaxial cable as wire guide cable to deploy the new ethernet cable I know people that did this. The conclusion was that ethernet is not that expensive for what you get (vs what you get with coaxial). One installation that I know uses a device that is fairly expensive to do the conversion between coaxial to ethernet (that's why probably you would like to have ethernet), I can ask; probably these days has a lower prize. The bandwith was about 400 - 600 Mbps.

Has someone > experience with ethernet over coax and can recommend hardware for such a > setup? There are Powerline adapters that run PowerLine over 75Ohm Coax cable (via F connectors). I briefly worked with some of them (Corinex) a while ago. Original PowerLine is crappy, but running it over Coax works quite well. Still, the devices are Modems, need 10-15W and aren't cheap. The nice thing is they usually work in Multi-Slave mode, so you can have a single Master on the roof and several Slaves on the same Coax Network, splitted via typical 3/6dB TV splitters. If there's no way to run CAT cable, this is probably the next best thing. Yes, original Ethernet was 10Base Coax, but with 50-Ohms impedance and only works in Line topology. Also, DOCSIS would be nice, but that's like running your own LTE infrastructure for your wireless babyphone ;) Clemens -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We will merge the agendas of both events with respect to the traditions, which both have. Many topics do overlap anyway as well as the list of participants, so we are pretty sure we will ensure a nice experience for everyone. Regarding the local support team, we will organize a meeting with the interested members of the Berlin Community around 6-4 weeks upfront to clarify the left details then and ask for helping hands with regard to concrete tasks.
