Personal Telco Project Monthly Meeting – Lucky Labrador Overlook Tap Room The Personal Telco Project actually still exists! Did you know that? Well, we do. No, really. We do! We are still here, helping educate and support people sharing their internet connections, for the 10th consecutive year. Will Personal Telco continue to exist in the future? Ah, now that is kind of up to you all. It probably will continue to exist, but it could be so much more if people like you that care come along and help out. Are you going to be that person? Or are you going to trust, against your understanding of the laws of physics, that an organization like the Personal Telco Project can persist without the continuous injection of volunteer spirit and enthusiasm. Be that difference. |

If you have an interest is how these things are being put together, suggestions (and patchs) for improvement, etc, this is a place to be. Should be fun. |

Breaking Telco Monopoly Power through Public Ownership of Infrastructure – Northwest Academy We have a problem with federal telecommunications policy in the US. The problem is that federal regulators have decided that, instead of regulating, they would rely on competition, but competition doesn't occur naturally because of the de facto requirement to build your own infrastructure in order to compete. This leaves users vulnerable to economic predation by the owners of the infrastructure. Municipal Broadband PDX is a newly formed group that wants to solve this problem by creating a publicly-owned network infrastructure. Russell Senior, a member of Municipal Broadband PDX and president of the Personal Telco Project, has been advocating for this type of infrastructure for years. He'll talk to us about federal policy, the monopolistic conditions that result, and the abuses those monopolistic conditions allow. He'll also explain how a public telecommunications utility solves these problems and what such a network might look like. There will be a short video included in the presentation. Please join us for this informative presentation and discussion! We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking afterwards. We hope to see you there! Schedule: 6:00 PM: Doors 6:10 PM: Introductions and news 6:15 PM: Presentation 7:15 PM: Q&A 7:30 PM: Wrap up and networking Bio: Russell Senior has been involved with the Personal Telco Project since 2005. The Personal Telco Project is a volunteer-based non-profit in Portland, founded in November 2000, that cares about network freedom. We operate public-access wifi networks in about about 60 locations around the area, where other volunteers have agreed to host them (you can too!). About 120,000 unique devices connect to our networks annually. About 5,000 of those are habitual users. If you connect to one of our networks, we don't know who you are, and we don't care what you do; we just ask you not to get the host of the network in trouble. Russell has been President of Personal Telco since 2009. Russell has had a 20+ year career as a research programmer and data manager. He did a 13-month hitch at the National Science Foundation funded Science and Technology Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction in 2015-2016 and got to work on ocean glider and fixed station measurement data. He did a week-long research cruise from Newport, Oregon to about Longview, Washington on the Columbia River, mapping the ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore mesh network they use, as well as participating in vertical profiling of the ocean, estuary and river waters. Russell has been using Linux since 1992 and has been doing embedded Linux programming, primarily OpenWrt/LEDE on wireless routers for over a decade and has helped develop wifi-based consumer products.

Personal Telco Monthly Meeting – Roots Organic Brewing [Out of business. *Sigh*] Personal Telco recently received a couple SkyPilot SkyExtenders from the defunct MetroFi network for evaluation into whether some public/community value might be salvaged from them. In the process, we have dismantled one of them and learned some things. We'll have parts on display and a presentation on what we've learned and what remains to be learned. Oh, and we'll have a Monthly Meeting as well. Come join the fun! |

Mississippi Community Network Work Party – The Fresh Pot on N Mississippi This is a maintenance work party for the Mississippi Community Wireless Network along N. Mississippi Avenue. The network is a project of the Personal Telco Project, starting in 2005. Recently, some of our rooftop gear has failed and needs replacing. Come see how a neighborhood-wide wifi network is constructed. Maybe you can do the same in your neighborhood too! Meet at the Fresh Pot at 1pm, we'll head across the street at about 1:15. If you are going to be late, contact me ([email protected]) ahead of time and I'll give you my cellphone number so someone can let you in. |

There will be more Municipal Broadband PDX discussion in the build up to the second monthly demonstration at City Hall this weekend. Russell can report on his re-listen to the 2007 City Council Work Session on Community Fiber, and the general lack of imagination in evidence. |
