learned on the 26c3

Hi,
26c3 is over and we had quite some experiments going on. Not everything went good, but we learned a lot:

babel did not survive the hack-center.
ahcp did survive.
measurement needs to be improved

That does not sound much, but i think it’s valuable information as we can now concentrate on some things and forget the other.

Openimp did not run good, it had a memory leak we got not fixed during 26c3, so the router kept rebooting after a few minutes.
Babel also hat real trouble, it ate up a lot of cpu and memory, it felt like olsr 3 years ago.
A few harddrives did not survive the heat of colo, so a part of the topology data are maybe lost.
Firmware building and development did work quite good, but could be better, that was mainly my verpeilung, there is room for improvement.

I will continiue the tests in my local mesh neighbourhood without babel and without ipv4 based olsr, so expect more firmware builds soon.

ccc hamburg macht xing werbung auf dem easterhegg

Filed under: ccc, freifunk, miscellaneous — Tags: ccc, ccchh, easterhegg, eh2009 — alx @ 15:35

Gestern auf dem easterhegg angekommen, heute schon die erste überraschung: das hamburger chaos hat sich an xing verkauft, laut mcfly bekommen sie pro xing lanyard ca. 5 euro in die kasse.

Schade, bisher hatten die hamburger das nicht nötig und waren in der lage vernünftig zu wirtschaften.

Ansonsten bisher alles sehr entspannt, die ersten freifunker und OpenWrtler sind angekommen und wir richten uns im freifunk/wireless raum ein.

hackerspaces

Filed under: ccc, freifunk, miscellaneous, outside, politics — Tags: ccc, freifunk, hackerspace, hamburg, leipzig — alx @ 2:10

Founding hackerspaces might become a hobby, as i just took part in the founding 2 hackerspaces.

The first on was on thursday, the founding of the sublab, a hackerspace in leipzig in the Westwerk.

Good feeling, a bunch of about 30 young motivated people from many different groups in leipzig. Some were surprised about the the good feedback after publishing the idea of a hackerspace, as leipzig is a rather small town.

Founding groups are chaostreff leipzig, Freifunk Leipzig, Leipziger Kamera, the wikipedia people, the linux user group, Open Source Drone Crew Leipzig, the group against data retention and they are getting more.

Some older pictures of hard working people: http://www.diac24.net/bilder/foobar/ and on flickr, more groups are interested and coming.

After a short visit to the Mitgliederversammlung of c-base e.V. on friday, i went to hamburg to the ccc hamburg, to the next founding of a Hackerspace.

After thinning out a list of more than 50 potential names, it got the name Attraktor e.V., which is the german word for attractor, to relate to the chaostheory.

Founded by 10 members of the ccc hamburg and a member of ssdev e.V., they want to rent a room for many groups in hamburg to collaborate, talks have been done with AK Voratsdatenspeicherung.

The executive board consists of 3 ccc members, one lockpicker and one “free” member.

Good luck for both, there is a lot of work to do.

Update:

attraktor is finally online.
