Jure Čuhalev se je na Wireless Community Weekend 2010 spraševal kaj povezuje vse brezžične skupnosti, potem ko imamo osnovno infrastrukturo/omrežje postavljeno in v sklopu tega vprašanja organiziral odprto “okroglo mizo” oz. odprti mikrofon. To so njegovi “izvlečki”:

We’ve built the network: what now?

Services

• radio and video streaming http://rund.freifunk.net or http://www.livestream.com/dubnighttv/
• Voice over IP http://wiki.ninux.org/Elenco_Telefonico_rete_VoIP_di_ninux.org
• Public web Cams (over the roofs, bird nest’s – very popular in Berlin)

Discovery

Splash screen:

• They don’t really work in most experience. People don’t read them or respond to them.
• Intercepts connections and makes a bad experience
• Problems when being on dual stack
• If you have it: don’t mention money as people will go away (even if just for donations). Explain what will happen after they press the login button.
• Use SSID as name that you want to announce (use WWW so people know it’s a website)

mDNS:

• Service discovery, networks
• Music sharing services (iTunes like sharing (DAAP))
• Serverless chat
• Good resource: http://wiki.ninux.org/ZeroconfServices

Kiberpipa.net is running:

• Video streaming from Cyberpipe (lectures – http://video.kiberpipa.org)
• VPN for end users
• Local irc server with SSL suport (irc.sioff.net)
• VPS to run and learn about Linux (all the servers are accessible inside network + ipv6 only connectivity from the outside world)
• Multiple-storages (NAS) for sharing stuff/run your own FTP server
• Peering connectivity to other Freifunk networks/hackerspaces

Other services that people are running

• Used books
• Weather report
• Blog server
• Radio streaming
• DNS servers that do all the fancy remapping (service to all the users)

Wishlist:

• WE NEED working SPLASH SCREENS
• nodes running their own webserver
• automatic name registration system (web site)
• alternative domain names redirection (custom zones)
• internet caching services (uncensored)
• decentralized community radio station / shared radio schedule (gsoc project this year): http://radiomate.org and http://fusoradio.net
• game servers (freeciv works!)
• mesh-partys (like lan party)
• local search engines
• good service discovery service. What is the most common way to announce new service around the whole network: mDNS?
