[Swlug] Mashtastic?

[Rhys Sage]

I was just reading about "meshtastic" - some kind of wireless internet using LoRa. That sounds quite intriguing. I haven't found much information on it so far but had a look a the Meshtastic site. I wasn't impressed to see all the software was proprietary. I'd like to see open-source in Python. It sounds like a fun little thing I could do with a 4-line LCD display, LoRa adaptor and a Pi Pico or an ATTiny88 and C++.

Has anybody here any experience of Meshtastic?
