Let's build a decentralized mesh Wi-Fi.

Recent events related to net neutrality and censorship have us realizing that the internet is not as resistant to political attack as we had imagined. With the flick of a finger governments can seize domain names without oversight, with concealed effort Internet Service Providers are undermining the neutrality of the Internet.

We are building a mesh network that will do away with censorship, ISP conflicts-of-interest, and 'last mile' duopolies. Affordable technology to do so already exists, but the main hurdle is finding nearby individuals interested in participating.

This map solves this issue. Place a marker on the map to indicate your approximate location (for privacy reasons.) The marker will be attached to an e-mail address so that others nearby will be able to communicate with you (through an anonymous form — your address will remain secret.)

The goal is not to build a wide-area mesh network overnight, but rather get nearby geeks to experiment with mesh technologies, in the hopes that more will join later.
