==Overview==
A field day type event like Ham radio operators do to test out emergency communication only with ethernet and wifi links to build a computer network.  Basically, how quickly and to what extent can we create an computer network that operates similar to the Internet.


==Goals==
* Portable power
** batteries, solar, wind turbines, etc
* Mesh network nodes capable of being run on available power.
** OpenWRT capable devices
** See [[Emergent Mesh]] --[[User:Strages|strages]] ([[User talk:Strages|talk]]) 17:02, 3 March 2013 (CST)
* Various antenna types
* DNS server
* DHCP server
* Captive portal page containing emergency and general information for people joining the network.
* Communication options
** IRC
** BBS?
** SMS gateway
** Jabber server
* QR code ( http://delivr.com/qr-code-generator ) stickers and/or stencils containing a link or information about the network in a given area.  Keep with the nodes and/or on the nodes.
* Have a file repo available and linked off the captive portal containing mesh network packages, etc.  Piratebox ( http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox ) perhaps.
* Local copies of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download Wikipedia] or [http://www.appropedia.org/Appropedia:Offline_browsing Appropedia] for reference use.

==Progress==
===03/03/2013===
* Separated the wireless mesh stuff formerly residing on this page to [[Emergent Mesh]] and reverted this page back to an event page so we can refocus efforts now that the base camp mesh stuff has been developed. --[[User:Strages|strages]] ([[User talk:Strages|talk]]) 17:00, 3 March 2013 (CST)
