Hi all

I'm not going to make it this year, so I can't help, or even attend  
any of these, but if I was going I would be interested in seeing some  
mobile phone stuff.

This might include:

* A install party for these mobile tools:  
http://en.flossmanuals.net/tech-tools-for-activism/mobile-phone-security-and-android-apps/ Including sharing usernames so those attending could continue to share Encrypted calls and texts after the  
event.


* Continuing to play with Serval which offers Peer to peer calls over  
ad-hoc wifi mesh network. This could be very useful in situations  
where the phone network is overloaded or switched off. This was alpha  
software last year and we didn't get it working. It's now beta and  
worked surprisingly well when we played with it at Bristol Wireless  
http://www.servalproject.org


* Playing with  Paw server http://paw-android.fun2code.de/piratebox  
and Piratebox  
http://fun2code-blog.blogspot.fr/2011/12/piratebox-on-android.html  
This could be used at events to spread information via Wifi, bust  
cards etc. Or just to spread electronic propaganda of your choice  
whilst sitting on the train.


So not sure if it's helpful to mention these when I can't actually  
help, but I guess someone might be keen to run one or more of them..

Cheers

Sam
