No disappointment. That's still a lot! If the boxes were full it looks like
35 have been removed so far. Unless someone complains I am going to take
most of these to sudo mesh for safe keeping and give them out to whoever
requests some in this thread rather than have them slowly vanish from
noisebridge. We'd like to use a bunch of these for peoplesopen.net so
hopefully that will be possible. Also I invite anyone interested on
openwrt, wifi or mesh to come to the sudo mesh nights, every thursday night
at sudo room (tomorrow is canceled though).
