NodeFPU [1] (nomasters) is a warehouse on top of Northcote hill (
Pictures [2] ) that holds events, benefits, gigs, meetings and other
assorted things for various street-level groups, and where we are
trying to get an 'information station' going, extending services into
the wireless world.
We have considered this in the past, and always seen it as an obvious
extension to our networks, especially locally, and with pricing
keeping the information technology out of many ground level
organisations ability, need plays a large part.
There are a large number of people in the immediate area, most with
pc's and into DIY and alternative type stuff. We are in LOS of most of
Melbourne and suburbs from the roof
