SeattleWireless Field Day (Picnic) - October 28, 2006

Field Day is happening this year! The SeattleWireless Field Day is officially scheduled for October 28, 2006 from 10am to 2pm. We will be featuring three locations: Gas Works Park, Alki, and Magnolia Park. We will be interconnecting at several facilities in the Seattle area, but these will not be available to the public. Our Seattle connection will also double as our access to the internet.

And while Field Day will be similar to our event in 2003, we will be featuring a few new, exciting technologies:

  • OLSR Mesh Networking
  • VoIP
  • Video Conferencing
  • Interactive Art

    And the following creature comforts:

  • FOOD - ITS A PICNIC!
  • Tents
  • Tables
  • Chairs
  • Catalytic Heaters

    And like 2003, field Day will still operate "off grid" with quiet, small, gas generators.

    We Still Need Your Help!

    What can you do to help out field day? Check out our CheckList!

    We still need additional generators, wireless gear (any will do), tents, or any contribution you think could help us out. We may need some of your network gear during some of the trial runs (which you are welcome to participate in), as well as the day of the field day. All gear will be turned to their owners after the field day.

    And probably most important, if you would like to bring food for the picnic, please do so. The more, the better. Remember that we do not have access to the cooking sites, so a small grill is also recommended.

    Please contact me at maokhian@hotmail.com if you have something you would like to contribute. Check out the wiki page 2006wirelessfieldday to assist in planning.

    Otherwise, I hope to see everyone there!
