[Noisebridge-discuss] OMGWTFBBQ wifi networks and SSID names

[Rubin Abdi]

Hi there.

I just noticed that there's 8 wifi networks in the space now that  
begin with the name Noisebridge. I also notice that JSharp has a  
section of the Network page on the wiki which describes what these new/ 
different SSIDs entail and also purposes that we switch from the old  
Noisebridge SSID to this new setup. It doesn't state that these new  
SSIDs are in operation or that the old Noisebridge SSID is now  
encrypted (no password given).

As a general guide line I purpose that if there's any changes to the  
network topology that deviates from what's the current norm and  
affects most/many users of the network, an email be sent out to the  
list and the wiki kept up to date on such things. I ask this because  
of two things...

* I want to know what network contains the "internet".
* I don't want to step on someone else's project which is still being  
worked on.

Here's a nifty way of thinking about it, we have (will have) project  
buckets for folks to work on things that they don't want others to  
mess with in their absence, or use (such as personal tools or  
incomplete projects for the space (magical passport reader for the  
front door)). Things such as this which need to be part of the network  
topology can't be stuffed into bucket for safe keeping.

Hope that makes a little sense. Thanks for reading.
