November Portland Linux Users Group Meeting

Portland State University (PSU)
Smith Memorial Building, 1825 SW Broadway
Portland, Oregon 97207 Get Directions
Russell Senior will present "Comments on Personal Telco and Public Wireless Internet in Portland"

The Personal Telco Project (http://www.personaltelco.net/) is an all volunteer open source oriented organization that has been a leader in bringing free wireless internet access to Portland for many years. Personal Telco has brought free wireless access to Portland by working with coffee shops, bars, and other businesses and individuals who are willing to share their internet connections. Personal Telco predates Portland's Metro-fi system by several years, and judging by Metro-fi's difficulties it may postdate it as well.

Russell Senior has been active with Personal Telco since the early days. He will discuss the current status of Personal Telco and describe its current projects, as well as Personal Telco's role in the mix of wireless services in the Portland area.
