Would Stephouse get splash damage from the convention centers
wifiopoly? In a fair and just world I would say that Mikes plan has
the best of our ideas, that is bringing community networking where it
is not, and its not in that convention center thats for dang sure.
Using their network at all sort of tainted though if we can not get a
link outside it is the only way to go.

Am I remembering wrong when I say there was some sort of nonpay wifi
there last year, some one sponsored it?

Personally I like the ideas of the "guerrilla " kind, as Caleb put so
well. At the very leasts Id love to have some of the WgtBrigade set up
to run (battery and mobile or pluged in and stationary) with ssids
that tell our story, maybe a little local content on them...but
ideally what Mike has put forth.
