Where: https://personaltelco.net/wiki/NodeWorldCup
When: Sunday, March 3, 2013, 1:00-5:00 p.m.
What: https://personaltelco.net/wiki/PlayDay20130303

The Personal Telco Project uses OpenWrt heavily in devices it uses to
build wifi infrastructure around Portland, almost always building the
firmware from source, adapted to the particular purpose.  The purpose
might be a standardized node, a mesh networking node, or it might be a
highly adapted solution to something like a data logger application.

This play day is intended to help spread the knowledge of how Personal
Telco constructs these firmwares and, more generally, the finer points
of how to build OpenWrt for any particular purpose you might have.
And, if you find we do it in an idiotic way, you can suggest
improvements. ;-)

This is a hands-on event.  Bring yourself, your curiosity, and a linux
box you can build on (or a way to connect over the network to one,
like me).

You can bring a device too, but this is primarily a software-focused
event.  If there is enough time, we could start looking at flashing
problems.  If there is enough interest, we could have a follow up Play
Day that focuses on those issues, a kind of Linux Clinic for your
router.

Come on out and have some fun!
