I reckon trying to setup something like this would be great fun if
nothing else :D
When I last checked this out there were a few people interested in
helping out, and host antennas, also one of the founding members of
Belfast WiFi was going to help us get started. I know a few people from
sydney WiFi who could probably help us out with info, and advice on kit.

I'd be up for that.
I'm hoping to try and set something more serious up for us soon if
anyone is interested. I also am going to order a copy of RevolutionOS
dvd (I think its www.revolutionos.org from memory) if anyone can think
of a place to show it. perhaps we can screen it and invite a few
companies along with a few people to talk to?
