PersonalTelcoConstructed rewrite of the PersonalTelco homepage by DanRasmussen, intended to replace the homepage as-is (once formatting is fixed and issues ironed out), as opposed to PersonalTelcoUnderConstruction, which is an improved, but not yet complete or polished, version of this page. Text in bold denotes things that still need worked out. I'd like to keep the current homepage sidebar, but screwed up the formatting, and would appreciate help fixing it. -- DanRasmussen 2012-03-09 17:30:54 Trouble spots/questions: #metrofi, #hitcount
You: A Person Curious What Personal Telco is
You may have heard of "the internet." We're big fans! We believe internet access should be free, safe, and uncensored. Portland, Oregon is a dense urban area. We think it's a waste of time, money, electricity, and natural resources for each business, household, and apartment renter to sign up for internet service, wait days for a maintenance worker, purchase or rent a router, learn how to configure that router, and then individually help every customer, employee, family member or visiting friend to connect to their wifi hotspot. It can be much easier! Personal Telco is a collection of individuals, businesses, and organizations who share -- or plan to share -- their internet connection instead of hoarding it. It's also a group of volunteers who want this network to grow. Personal Telco Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Portland, Oregon. You can help us help everybody with a donation of your time, money, or bandwidth. If you don't live in Portland, there may be a similar group near you. If there's not, maybe you could start one!
You: A Person Desirous of Internet Access
There are many wifi hotspots around Portland. To use them, you often have to do one of the following:
- Purchase a beverage or food. Ask how to get on their network - it's always different! Hope that they know the current password, that you heard them correctly, that you typed it in correctly. Hope their network is compatible with your device(s).
- Track down the owner of a hotspot. Ask how to get on. If you're lucky, they know how. Enjoy fiddling with your wireless settings!
If those options seem like a bother, you've got one more! A Personal Telco "Node" 1 is where a private individual, business, or other entity has decided to make network access freely available to anybody near enough to pick it up. Visit the Personal Telco Node Map, and find a node near you.
You: A Geek, Aspiring Geek or Individual Seeking Volunteer Opportunities
Personal Telco welcomes all comers. Whether you're a technology wizard or technically incompetent, volunteering with us is a great way to learn something new, enjoy teaching others, or use your skills to do something useful. Sign up for our mailing list, visit us on IRC for live chat, or drop by a meeting!
You: Individual With Internet Access, or A Business, Housing Project, Neighborhood Group, or Other Organization
Consider sharing it with your friends and neighbors! There are many benefits to doing so, and only a few drawbacks — most of which can be overcome or minimized. Get in touch to learn more!
The City of Portland has offered to donate to us some of the remaining hardware from the MetroFi network, the city-wide wifi project that was aborted in 2008. We are looking for partners to help us redeploy this hardware so that it can again be useful. We need bandwidth and places to mount devices. If you can help us with this, please get in touch <info AT personaltelco DOT net>. Is this section still relevant? And even if it is, does it deserve valuable homepage real estate? We should be using this space to get people interested!
