Description
"LibreMesh is an initiative undertaken by community networks members of several continents that collaborate towards a common goal: to develop a set of tools that facilitate the deployment of Free Networks on any community in the world.
Main tool is LibreMesh firmware: based on OpenWrt, eases the creation of WiFi communities, and enables existing communities to add roaming clouds to their networks.
The firmware (the main piece) will allow simple deployment of auto-configurable, yet versatile, multi-radio mesh networks.
While each module stands on its own, and can be used separately, we strive to integrate them as much as possible, so that they work together the best.
This project was born as an effort to merge some pre-existent firmware projects:
- AlterMesh (from AlterMundi, Argentina)
- qMp (from guifi.net, Catalunya)
- eigenNet (from eigenLab, Ninux, Italia)
And with the support of some existent organizations:
- the Free Network Foundation (from USA)
- the Guifi.net Foundation (from Catalunya)
