			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.glug-bom.org/" class="external text" title="http://www.glug-bom.org/" rel="nofollow">GNU/Linux user’s group of Mumbai</a> made a free wireless mesh at <a href="http://www.hbcse.tifr.res.in/" class="external text" title="http://www.hbcse.tifr.res.in" rel="nofollow">Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR</a>.  Though we are late in setting up of the wireless mesh, which was due for over an year, we finally got a working free information network. We intend to create a community network in Mumbai that will spread from place to place to create a citywide people’s network. People can use this network to publish useful content. To begin with it will serve all of wikipedia through the <a href="http://www.gnowledge.org/" class="external text" title="http://www.gnowledge.org/" rel="nofollow">gnowledge.org protal</a> and lots and lots of useful free software for enabling the community.</p>
<p>People anywhere in India or other places are invited to look at our community network, and replicate it to other parts of the world. We will periodically conduct workshops at the request of the community and will transfer the technology.  We also request others to develop the skills and take it to every corner of the country, or rather every corner of the world.</p>
<p>For the time being we will discuss all issues in the <a href="http://mm.glug-bom.org/pipermail/linuxers/" class="external text" title="http://mm.glug-bom.org/pipermail/linuxers/" rel="nofollow">GNU/Linux user’s group mailing list</a>. Requests to conduct free wireless mesh workshops can be sent to this mailing list. We invite voluntary organizations, colleges, schools particularly in small towns to take special interest in taking full advantage of this technology.</p>
<p>Thanks to  <a href="http://www.wsfii.org/" title="world summits for free information infrastructures" target="_blank">WSFII </a>for motivating me to take interest in free network, particularly Saul, Fred, and Julian, who donated the routers for this initial setup, and of course more important transfered the technology. The entire <a href="http://freifunk.net/" title="freifunk" target="_blank">freifunk</a> team deserves a special thanks.</p>
<p>Thanks to all the volunteers from the <a href="http://www.glug-bom.org/" title="GNU/Linux user's group of Mumbai" target="_blank">GNU/Linux user’s group</a> who helped in setting this up.</p>
<p>We will document the progress at  <a href="http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh" target="_blank">http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh</a>.</p>
