We started out as a web site dedicated to helping people build their own high speed broadband networks, in your community here, in New Zealand. We have grown in to a project center. We run weekly training sessions for high school students to learn about Linux and Open Source Software.
We promote and/or create awareness of Open Source events around our city and country. We also brain storm ideas to enhance the success of such events. We research and develop wifi projects based on work done in other parts of New Zealand. We design specifications and do concept work for Open Source projects that we feel New Zealand needs to give us a global advantage in the delivery of high speed internet to our community and those visiting us from overseas. If you want to know more about why it is important to build our own community networks and what a community node network is, then read thru our web site. If you're still confused but would like someone to come and talk to your group, then we do that as well. Our current feature project is a home work assignment for our high school students. We have assigned them the task of joining with the local IT community to build a complete node network in Rocking Horse Road, a place in Christchurch where the residents have been told they won't be getting ADSL broadband because it's simply to expensive to deliver it. We have forums where you can follow the progress of our projects. You can join anyone of our teams.
How to support us... Set up a community site yourself using the products and services from us. Doesn't matter how big it is. If you're interested in the project but not in a position to build something then you can still support us simply buy reading this web site. Cheers Don - Broadband Networks Are Fun To Build!
