WSFII 9

Posted by on 31 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

Everything thinks differently than you. Late for Congress strolled been arrived and immediately asked if I could not help NER Linux installation. Sure, it was said that the installation of Ubuntu would not work. Well, everything looked, found that Linux has been installed anywhere, on demand, get smart useless answers. With which nothing was possible.

cimg0155_small.JPG Gone a bit annoyed at the lunch, said Hugo that he is there with the bike. So ne first test round down, not bad so bike. And because I had it, of course managed to let the box go out on the mountain, I also practiced the same uphill starts. Is feasible in any case, getting used to, of course, consumption. And driving itself is really luxurious, the bike floats over the potholes.

In the afternoon, then went still some nice people at the Linux Install helped NEN talk about the longest WiFi connection (280km?) And heard again in the dark after McLoadGanj. Since the moon is here at last is something bigger once again this is now also in the dark is not dark namely. ;)

After a relaxing dinner at the Temple Cafe - ne short work round inserted - put back into the worst bar in town, and beer tourists. Some tourists had a lot of beer, so we have adjusted ourselves. And the session would not end too early, we go to the hotel and there through the night well done. Laughed a lot about the male (or geeky) inability to inspire the women's world and by digressions into his own world of experience in between to even seriously in political Spheres appeared.

The downside was the morning today. After 5 hours of sleep the person is simply not awake, even if it seems that way. But at least we have (yes, Tracey) managed anzuhoerten next to today's network economy, nor talk too organize tonight's farewell party. And this time get updated very often right Bhagra and Punjabi tunes, so do not be surprised if you see me dance tomorrow on nem image ;)

I'm probably too planned for India. The day before yesterday I want, as it should be that for NEN Saturday dance, go. Only here is simply nothing, if one shows up first in McLoadGanj, you meet people from the conference immediately. Then come together, not break up there together, only in common. Even small groups can be split between the table and the output of an average restaurant, newly formed, dissolved and recovered.
Well, you probably noticed, yesterday evening was the first day where I was pretty flat by the time Congress hype. I did but then torn away and found their way into fashion scouts over to Bhagsu Dharamkot.

Yesterday, finally, workshop atmosphere. We have built our own mesh. Once again get the Freifunk firmware explains all features, and of course - completely unbiased - found that our firmware Rostock in part, is much more user friendly. ;)
In the evening time spent in front of the hotel Dharamkot, Hugo, Tracy, and Ram PamPam what for another round. Laughed and discussed endlessly. Among other festgstellt that Tracy knows anything about Antarctic expeditions. Has any project run mapping Antarctica.
Postman is right: He says in 'Technopolis', that at the time of the introduction of writing a great discussion arose. Theme was the danger that we would no longer train our minds enough, since we could write it all down. Although the memory performance of bhuddistischen monks are legendary, so Ram is an impressive example.
He lives somewhere in the mountains in eastern India. No internet, no television. Three or four houses somewhere in nothing. And he knows everything, movies, technology, nature, really incredible. Too bad that I can not stay here long enough, but next year I'll see him safely.
After speaking such a night it was clear that I had to sleep sometimes. What has now happened. Based in the morning sun and enjoy the quiet morning. Finally, the evening is planning for sure: (? Matrix) We design ne map is to help you decide which wireless standard for what purpose the best. Let's see what this is.

Ok, back to the travelogue. Yesterday afternoon, three classes of Tibetan school attended our workshop, focused on the basics of wireless physkalischen. Her teacher was an amateur radio operator, the kids knew more than most of us.

After that time, back to Dharamkot and tries to convince the Internet Cafe opposite to it, give us Internet for a MeshNetz. Has some persuasion needed, but we have already changed from red to light green, the rest is probably just ne thing, the price negotiated with the owner.

Well - has resulted in a degree, to say that nothing will. The guy is probably scared, well, we'll see.

cimg0102_small.JPG cimg0116_small.JPG cimg0124_small.JPG

Today two very good speeches demanding one. Early an idea of ​​all possible wireless standards by Ermanno Pietrosemoli (Venezuela - the NEN has WIFI-Link tinkered about 280km), afternoon about regulation of Vic Hayes (Netherlands - Papi WIFI standards). A little too much for most people here, but why not.

Today even played football, but actually just watched. But for the next few days, a football game is scheduled, team-11b to 11g. We shall see.

# Hugo has today bought his moped. I'll probably try tomorrow once #

In any case, There Were No excuse to be there early, and I had already announced that I switch to another workshop, but more relaxing than the business stuff ;) Laura is really good, but is just ncht my topic. I hope she is not upset if I call if my time is CummunityNetzwerk verge of bankruptcy ... ;)

cimg0096_smal.JPG cimg0095_small.JPG

cimg0098_small.JPG Now I sit in another workshop, there's this machine on the network and I can finally plan my trip next time. The wireless network was hopelessly overburdened here, appear no wonder when suddenly freaks with 200 computers and 100 determines ne produce completely new network load. But now I'm finally back up to date with all things Internet.

# Tracy and Huo have missed parts of the workshop, we'll probably ne craft session tonight at our hotel. # The weekend comes and I can try it to make calls to akzepablen times to D-land. Judith is already mum ^ 2? #

Ok today, have finally made it self. I got up at 7:30, well, not bad ;) Was then shortly after 8 at Yoga Center. But, well, the first message that Yoga starts until half past ten, then the info that it takes three hours every day. Well, to do nothing, then the waer become nothing even with the workshops. ;)

cimg0083.JPG Hugo looked at his moped, the planning progresses. Well, everything looks like when we meet in Varanasi and travel together in the south. Eimal across India with NEM motorcycle, sounds exciting. And sometimes I'll probably finally be able to tinker with machines, but since coming back the old Barkas dreams.

When WSFII, after a lengthy discussion about whether the workshops are to be merged or not, I'm dan for the business-workshop decided. Actually went there mainly because I have the basics of wireless networks even know, well, no need to experience that again.

cimg0090.JPG cimg0087.JPG cimg0085.JPG

But I guessed Hattes, business is just not my thing. Well, the day passed, even lunch time here playing basketball with the kids and enjoyed the evening again to sit in front of our hotel Dharamkot.

Yesterday evening in JungleHut been. After only two days of the Cultural Revolution was perfect. Alkkoholfreie to get drinks was problematic, the service had recognized that the expense and the profit margin for beer and spoke clearly against tea.

Locally gabs a radio station that was built by the people of Berlin and was sent to FM, but also streamed into the world. Posts about the conference, but were also randomly present TibetanerInnem thus sent into the world.

Then again at the Green Hotel made the night into day meal, by the way 200Rp the guy with the security keys to convince them that he auflässt the door longer.

By taxi home, one must finally take the opportunity when arriving at night at half past 2, a Punjabi-noisy box.

Gelabert the evening with Hugo about the idea to go with NEM motorcycle through India. Let's see, am not so far away from the idea.

cimg0040.JPG Then, too late for Congress, and unfortunately missed the super panel on VoIP. Well, this afternoon was a bit tired then Congress that sitting around on the floor is not so easy to endure. But visiting the technical center here, a little touched by the Children Village and much babble.

cimg0057.JPG cimg0067.JPG

The evening came too soon, just tried again to find it to a short way to Bhagsu, and it was shorter, but it is time to try them once in the light. The way home after a nice dinner with Tracy and Ram times without experiments, and to bed early enough - prepared for yoga.

Today was of course, want nothing to get out early, perhaps even threatening the announcement that we meet not only 8.15 clock, but also begin with yoga. Sure, my subconscious has switched back to sleep on.

cimg0022_small.JPG cimg0010_small.JPG cimg0014_small.JPG

Nice cozy at ten to the Congress Centre strolled, today also saw the kind of clear. The children, instead of running in formation, march, organized a sports festival. Even though I'm usually not on sports, which were left out properly and so was the impression a lot nicer.
Before getting back into the sessions, a lot of chit chat with the people and the fact but only noticed some of the sessions. In particular, the afternoon was interesting because some people have presented their local initiatives.

cimg0015_small.JPG cimg0038_small.JPG

Did a good job with the Canadians (Hugo + Tracy) together scuffle, the pull to my village now is, just as nice here in Daramkot on the road directly at the congress center. Hugo is from Montreal and he has started two weeks ago ne bike tour Canada. Rehct fast we went to Ottawa, where he visited Tracy and learn from the conference. So bike off and come to India, if that is not spontaneous. As an alternative to the bicycle, he sets about just now, is maybe a motorcycle site address, $ 550 was the starting price.

Ok, now has started now, tonight NEN get updated very often live radio stream (http://wsfii.org - whatch out for "Summit Streams") back from the jungle hat, of course. And I will also still upload images, if you could estimate the slowness of the 2.6 GHz machine on which I work here have no idea how that've managed is probably ne Indian Edition ;)

Had a great evening. After a meeting in Junglehut - so much the guests had not determined for years - it was time to change the location. Well done from the hotel and a German-Canadian-Indian party entry.

Laughed a lot, next geek-talk and a lot of layer 8 (partly layer 9) enjoyed. At some point - we just have puzzled over the Notwendikeit of earplugs - came to the hotel people and said we should be quiet. Our range of ear plugs, he politely declined ;)

A little later - break - we were trapped. So make noise again until someone let out the party room ;)

cimg0295_small.JPG cimg0297_small.JPG

In short, the evening was nice and long - and the morning would be soon. And he was. DC went early to the anniversary of the Tibetan school, a lot was going on, but I was all a bit reminiscent grouped into eastern school appeal. The Dalai Lama has spoken, in the opinion of some, it went well for peace in Tibet and the suitability of olsr for community networks. He has expressed great appreciation, if I've translated correctly.

cimg0303_small.JPG cimg0301_small.JPG

Then traditional lunch - eat with your hands - and the keynotes. First, a representative of the school, which was almost the best. Really good. What, however, the contributions of NEM and government officials should have to do community-networks by a Professor from Ireland with was not clear.
Then it was funny, Richard Stallman (GNU / GPL / FSF) NEN talk about, clearly, the importance of free software has kept. Super post, not quite fit the theme of the conference but for all those who had not experienced it yet impressive. As might be expected, an impressive plea for the exclusive use of free software and GNU + Linux.

Finally, Dave Hughes. Some eye-catching projects vorrgestellt WiFi, but the outcome still clearly shown that he is a fucking militarist. Has he fought in Korea, there's something stuck.

Then went to Hugo and Tracy from Canada to Daramkot, and eagerly discussed Stallman Thsen. In the dark the way to the Jungle was looking for, lost, regained, lost again and then it arrived.

Very interesting evening talks had taken NEN type of NEM College Kereala, I'll visit some time in December. And maybe build a mesh, super.

When we wanted to go, Stallman came around, that is still babble on about him and had NEN evening, which was again nice, but way too long.

WSFII, day I

Erstmalk briefly at New Year, Diwali, so, well, I've probably missed something yesterday. I went to nem evening rock concert that was in the Tibetian Center for Performing Arts and was quite nice, as I am about ten then back to my hotel was the Diwali subside action already on. From time to time rockets, firecrackers, but - fortunately - not to be compared with the New Year's theater in Berlin. But then it has also some more time.

cimg0248_small.JPG cimg0244_small.JPG

Unfortunately, yesterday the internet shop had to show, so I did not get out so easy, when my current tour - Field trip 1 - should begin. So at 8 got up a little later, the kids next door have also de lezten Boeler verballert, so I would not have anyway can sleep longer. From the grid, and found that the tour at half past nine - should go - "We start walking in no later then 8:30 the morning!". Well, so had time for some breakfast, was already too late. Then off to the starting point of the tour, now look what is there. Well, ten minutes after I arrived, we set off. ;) I think I am already well adapted to India.

cimg0276_small.JPG cimg0274_small.JPG

And what for a tour have. Everything is too difficult to describe, more interesting people than talking to the viewed area, but the latter is not too little. Freaks of Kenya, Italy, France, Norway, Finland, Australia, USA, Canada, India, of course, determined and yet many other places, really interesting to talk with them. Some similar problems, but most just want to know how to do with the networks. A lot of technical hiccups discussed, learned a lot about the jeweligen countries and about the people and of course, difficult to capture everything.

cimg0280_small.JPG cimg0281_small.JPG

In the afternoon some local antennas of AirJaldi network looked to have an olsr mesh - Solte you call it backbone - with about 7 stations (or warens 15?) - Well, at least no problems with the distances that are on with antennas the mountains can ueberbruecken. Nen temple seen with Internet ( www.indrunag.com ) and trudged on busy Begr, from mountain. Ne is probably real, interesting time.

Spontaneously had to be clarified if we are geeks or nerds now, the search here n the mountains to radio waves - maybe we do still NEN workshop to ;) In any case has made a lot of fun.

After here for the "Jungle Hut", held the location where the spontaneous evening meetings (I've already organized that we take care of us tomorrow for the Internet Location) to relax a bit there. Tomorrow we get out early and hopefully, the conference is going on but only for lunch, but before that it is the anniversary of the founding school of Tibetan School, held at their campus Airjaldi. On the anniversary will be expected of course, the Dalai Lama, now see if I can exchange a few words with him ;) Ok, fixed or upload images, and then you go off into the jungle ...
