The following instructions will help you set up an encrypted mesh network on Raspberry Pi’s. It takes about 15 minutes to set up a node with the Pi 3. Obviously, to have a mesh you will need more than one node.
The software also supports Debian running on x86 and x64 boards, and many board that run Armbian (such as many models of Orange Pi hardware family). The same installation steps can be followed, except you would flash the SD card with Armbian instead of Raspbian or have Debian installed onto the computer. See Hardware Table for the full list of supported hardware and check for board specific installation details in our Frequently Asked Questions.

People’s Open x Toronto Mesh
Wants:
- Modular insetad of continuous: Hank wants to split up Toronto Mesh workshop into modular instead of 6-week
- Divide by skill level: Different for elementary school students vs. advanced linux user
- Rework content:
- Start with why this, mesh and community networks, is important
- Video presentations (e.g. Hank’s video)
- Completely compartmentalize each module so each can be presented 100% indpenedently of others
- Have a suggested series to present
- Split up the technical learning portion & the social interaction portion. Only include the technical portion in the module & let presenters choose an applicable social one to fit their needs. Maybe suggest a module too.
- Background, workshop at the Toronto Public Library: https://tomesh.net/peer-to-peer-internet/
- Varying levels of expectations, from beginner to advanced
- ben: Important design choices to keep:
- Markdown based everything (i.e. website, PDFs/worksheets, presentation) so we can iterate and translate (e.g. es)
- Offline environments
- Hands-on (e.g. get to work with pis)
- Self-guided (e.g. via worksheets)
- Fixed set of hardware
- Political and technical
- Reset on power cycle (using Mesh Orange at the moment)
- Who we want to target?
- General audience
- Developers
- Educate about how the internet works

We are Toronto Mesh, San Diego Mesh, and Philly Mesh. We Can Help!
Hey guys, there has been an uptick in people wanting to start or join a meshnet and this post is intended to give you a bit of an understanding of the current state of things and how to get involved with a meshnet.
I want to rebrand the name and take back awareness so others can find more details

Toronto Mesh, https://tomesh.net/
San Diego Mesh, http://sdmesh.net/
and
Philly Mesh https://phillymesh.net/
respectively. Our groups closely collaborate with one another and we also work in some capacity with Boston Mesh, NYCMesh, MetaMesh (of Pittsburgh) and other groups. We all chat daily using the federated chat network Matrix, which is open source and allows you to host your own homeserver in the network. On Matrix, we can easily join or create other Matrix channels, as well as bridge to certain IRC networks.

Toronto Gets Its Own Free, Encrypted Mesh Network - VICE
Apr 27, 2016 -
Canadians are famously dissatisfied with internet access in this country, and Mark Iantorno and Benedict Lau, two Toronto developers, are no exception. In December, they met for lunch at a cafeteria in a downtown office, and got to talking about how increasingly frustrated they were—Iantorno with sky-high data plan prices, and Lau, who is a mobile engineer with Android, with "black box design," or the opacity of consumer tech.
Mesh: Highlights from a documentary in progress
Mesh is a documentary about community-owned Internet & the future of networks.
Currently in production, it's an independent project initiated for Becky Kazansky's thesis at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU. Advisors included Heather Greer, Clay Shirky, and Red Burns.
In 2012, a third of Americans lack access to broadband in their homes. Many more lack options for affordable Internet access, or rely primarily on their phones. But the “digital divide,” so to speak, is really about other divides – stubborn educational and socio-economic disparities, badly planned, degrading physical infrastructure, and the telecommunications industry's focus on profit margins over the needs of customers. Mesh (working title) is an hour-long documentary about a diverse movement of people coming together around the need for affordable access to communications, the preservation of free speech, and a vision for sustainable, community-owned infrastructure.
The story centers around the promise of community wireless networks and mesh Wi-Fi, a bandwidth-sharing technology emblematic of the desire to create spontaneous, living alternatives to decaying infrastructure and centralized systems of control. The film taps into something larger than the promise of any specific technologies, however. Mesh is the story of what results when personal conceptions of liberty are coupled with a desire to have it reflected in the world at the infrastructure level.With an in-depth look into current and past efforts to build networks in Red Hook/Brooklyn, Detroit, Urbana-Champaign, Philadelphia, D.C, as well as an invaluable comparative study of the rise of robust European community networks in Berlin,Vienna, Barcelona, and Athens, Mesh will explore the large themes of progress, innovation, and digital justice through personal stories that put faces to complex issues often left abstract.
