[MLB-WIRELESS] Getting up and going and Hold off on buying wireless equipment for a few months!

RE: [MLB-WIRELESS] Getting up and going and Hold off on buying wireless
equipment for a few months!Now that's the spirit...Come on and lets get out
there and ask about.

I will be keeping a look out for any APs that might be useful.

So when and where is the first workshop for
1) Building Antennas
2) Buiding an AP with Linux

  With regards to a backbone are there really any AP's anywhere yet that
could be linked together?

  I'm looking into possibilities out my direction and I've worked out
roughly where good locations for AP's could be so that we could all link.
These would be in Rowville, Wheelers Hill, Vermont, Glen Waverley and
possibly Ferntree Gully.

  I'm going to get hold of an old Melways so I can start marking in peoples
locations and pay a few visits to check out LOS.

  My 20c worth here.

  I have noted on Ebay that there are quite a few Orinoco AP 1000 and the
  outdoor model going very reasonably.  I know that they do not have any
cards
  in them, but the do have 2 PC slots to take the Gold and Silver cards (or
  any other as I understand).

  I think that these would be very useful for providing a back bone (may be
  connection limits).  They would also provide a solid platform for
upgrading
  when 'The Price is Right' for emerging technology.

  May be this might be a good place to start.

  So after the BBQ has there been any decisions made with regard to :

  1) Forming a constitution (something would have allayed last weeks
  discussion about internet access)
  2)Plan for a back bone (based on current node map)
  3)Roll out schedule.
  4) A financial commitment from users.
