Hey
I know that this is not directly FreeGeek Vancouver Related, but here it
is:

We're currently building a Mesh Network in our own backyard. You may
have heard of the article in Tooth and Dagger, or me talking about it on
the CBC, (or passing around a white mesh box at recent FreeGeek
meetings) but we're slowly doing what the City of Vancouver can't seem
to do, and what the big telcos are unwilling to do. We're building
networks to bring broadband internet access to the people who can't
afford it. We're building bridges over the digital divide, one block at
a time!
But, we need your help! We need people who want to help build mesh
networks. We can take anyone, from someone who knows nothing about
computers, to someone who is a Wireless/Mesh hacker guru, and everyone
in between. To find out how you can get involved, go to the 2nd Ever
FreeTheNet.ca meeeting (formerly known as Vancouver Wireless Cadre).
Date: October 2, 2007
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Bryght Offices,
Suite 400, 1 Alexander Street
Vancouver, BC
(Go to the west side of Chill Winston to enter)
If you missed FreeGeek's first meetings, and wish you could have been
there, then you'll definitely want to go to this meeting! We're going
to take "Helping the needy get nerdy to the next level" and we need your
help. If you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to talk about it
on the Google Group.

I apologize once again for the spam, but I'm starting to see the same
faces at both meetings and I want that to be the trend!
