Re: [luv-main] [luv-talk] Interesting Bush Telegraph interview 'The Serval Project'
There was an interesting interview with Dr Paul Gardner-Stephen from 'The Serval Project'; on Radio National 621's Bush Telegraph this morning (Wed12/10/11). Nice ad for FOSS, with an application to run on Android and Nokia phones; that seems to set up a self-organising wireless LAN for emergencies when the cell network falls over. Would be interesting to know whether the software could be ported to GSM and NextG phones Seems to be a site here: http://www.servalproject.org/
Great catch Rohan. Sufficiently Linux related for further discussion to occur on LUV-main, imo :)

Lev thanks for that; even though there doesn't seem to be much interest; is it a bit 'old-hat ' ? anyway being a bit compulsive I found some explanation at these sites: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/how-wireless-mesh-networks-work1.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network but not enough to answer my question: "Would be interesting to know whether the software, could be ported to GSM and NextG phones " and if not whether this is OS related or the absence of WiFi etc.
