Garden Route WUG
If there is one thing that has been on the local open source community's minds for the last few years it has been creating a WUG in George and eventually expanding that to the whole Garden Route area. This was actually one of the first things that was on the agenda of the now-defunct Garden Route LUG called "GROSSUG" but, as is typical in George and particularly the GROSSUG, there was a whole lot of talking and some really great ideas but little to no action. It was actually so bad we probably could have joined the national government.
Anyway, getting back to the wireless stuff. Justin Miles restarted the discussion and I'm now starting to think that it could finally be the time for something like this to run. Pretty-much everybody I spoke to over the last few years are pro the idea but now we need to start to translate words into actions.
The advantages of such a network is immense to the local community. For example, the ability to make free and unlimited voice calls to anywhere in the area; free and unlimited VPN access into your company's network from home; free and unlimited access to local FTP servers to download your favourite Linux ISOs, etc.
We will be holding a meeting about this soon, probably combine it with the same meeting as the Garden Route ID meeting. I am currently talking to various people so will let you all know ASAP of the date and time and location.
