Grass Roots WiFi in London
http://linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6161
You can probably guess that one of the highlights of Gnomedex, in my eyes, was
the talk by Doc Searls,
Senior Editor of Linux
Journal, technologist and Linux advocate extraordinaire. I received my
September issue of the paper LJ in the week prior to Gnomedex and was
immediately fascinated by Doc’s feature on the underground WiFi movement in
London. This is a fascinating read, rich with the undertones that hold the Linux
community so firmly in place: DIY and the spirit of open access for all. It
looks like Doc was witness to warwalking and warchalking, a movement that’s now
become a worldwide effort. His account, as always, is crisp, entertaining and
cerebral - a combination that’s tough to find anywhere else.
