[Rack] Mounting antennas on Noisebridge

[Rubin Abdi]

Hi all.

We've been wanting to do a project like this for a while however we've had
a couple constraints...

- We're still waiting on Monkeybrains to complete some work on the roof
they've agreed to do.
- Our side of the network infrastructure is currently very bare bones and
literally held together by duct tape. It needs a lot of attention.
- We are lacking in time to work on any networking projects (as long as
it's up for us it's good) as other more important projects keep on coming
up (such as getting our access control system fixed, or fund raising).
- Our line of sight to anything isn't that great, particularly the East Bay.
- We want to be respectful of Monkeybrain's ability to run their business,
so it's hard to come up with a good plan to offer the local community free
wifi while still not hosing our relationship with them.

But I'm totally open to hear what your ideas are. :)
