==Mumbai Wireless Mesh==

[http://www.glug-bom.org/ GNU/Linux user's group of Mumbai] made a free wireless mesh at [http://www.hbcse.tifr.res.in Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR]. 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 [http://www.gnowledge.org/ gnowledge.org protal] and lots and lots of useful free software for enabling the community.

People anywhere in India or other places are invited to look at our community network, and replicate it in 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.
