This event will help users learn how to hook up with and use our nodes as well as get some insight on the technologies that are being worked on for the PTPnet.
Presentations will include a PTPnet 101 session and a look at whats in the works at the PTP. An open question and answer session so you will have ample time to find the answers to the questions you may have.

The mission of The Personal Telco Project is to promote and build public wireless networks through community support and education. Personal Telco is a volunteer group of Portlanders who believe that 802.11 (wireless networking, or “Wi-Fi”) technology is both cool and empowering. Currently The Personal Telco Project has more than 100 active nodes, and it eventually would like to cover the entire city of Portland.
The Mississippi Cloud Project (technical details) is the group’s most ambitious (and fun) project, yet!
