Dave "Uncle Weed" Olsen, Vancouver podcaster extraordinaire, recently sat down with Bryght's Boris Mann to discuss FreeTheNet.ca, Mann's recent trip to Drupalcon Barcelona, and various other goings-on in the Drupalsphere, and you can listen to the interview via a podcast.
Freethenet.ca is a Canada-wide initiative to provide free wireless access throughout urban neighbourhoods by strategically deploying Meraki mesh routers. Gastown is already peppered with the routers, as are bits and pieces of the rest of Vancouver's downtown core. The Vancouver chapter of freethenet recently sold the last of their hardware, but will notify the public when they've got more in stock. Uncle Weed (yes, him again) has more information about the quest for free urban wireless in Vancouver on his blog at Rain City Studios, and if you're looking for further podcasts about FreeTheNet.ca, look no further than Tod Maffin.
Cheers tot he plug eh. Boris is a blast as a podcast interviewee - just point the mic and let it roll ... Any ideas for future Raincity Radio episodes are welcome - techie open culture stuff.
Cranking out podcast goodness on the Choogleon.com and Canucksoutsider.com channels too.
Enjoy!
