Tom will be talking about wireless mesh networking. As a grad student at San Jose State, Thomas has worked on Wireless Mesh Networking and Mobile Ad Hoc Networking. His talk will compare solutions like OLSR and Microsoft's semi open source Mesh Connectivity Layer (that doesn't run on Linux). He will discuss why WDS is not sufficient and a mesh protocol is needed, and discuss the lack of openness thus far in 802.11s even though it is included in the OLPC, as well as security issues and implications.

I'd like to hear what type of things you folks are working on also, even if just to say who you are and what your interests are in open source.

This is an excellent book for OpenSolaris developers at large. This month we're planning to change the format, in interest of a community meeting where members of the community can be more interactive with each other. The typical format for a user group is to have a 1-2 hour presentation, with questions...and rather than focusing on a large presentation, I'd like to try and have several small presentation, including the members of the community who have helpful or interesting things they're doing on OpenSolaris. I've thought of having several laptops that users could wander around to and watch a short presentation, but not sure we can have that setup this month or not. We will continue meeting in the Mansion, and will try to use the space inside to suite our needs, please join us in this special space and enjoy the company of your fellow OpenSolaris and other open source community members as well. I spoke at the BayLISA meeting last week, and will be speaking at SVLUG on June 4th, and EBLUG on June 18th. I'm inviting other communities to join us, and would like to hear from some of them if they would like to give the community a perspective on the system(s) they use, what they use them for, and/or if they have interest in OpenSolaris. Please feel free to join us, for a drink, a snack, some good open source talk, and a chance to talk to some of the OpenSolaris engineers. Feel free to bring your own bottle, a snack, or something to share if inclined, no entry required so feel free to join us without concern of bringing something.
