Everyone, Here¹s the snip from the meeting notes: Andrew been working on literature that could be distributed to the public that talks about wireless, TCWUG, and generally encourages people to get involved and set up hotspots. A question at the meeting was: by using netstumbler, or just turning on your wi-fi card, you/we can see networks and tell if they¹re open or not. Also, it¹s not to hard to narrow the location down to a small area. Here¹s the problem: how can we contact the person running the hotspot, and either get them to list themselves as a public hotspot or help them secure their network, without, for lack of a better phrase, creeping them out totally? I¹m going to post this to the list as a separate piece, as I think outreach is pretty important, and I¹d like to get some other views. Ideas? Thoughts? Andrew, can you post your brochure? -- Ben Nelson 612.685.9116 cell benmgroup at earthlink.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
