April 18: Workshop: WiFi Teach-In (Part 1)
Date: Sat., April 18; 3PM - 6PM
Location: Eyebeam: 540 W. 21st, NYC
Cost: Free
If everyone took the passwords off their wifi, we'd have a free, citywide wireless network. Sound like a good idea? Then help us make it happen!
Eyebeam's Open Cultures Research Group will be running a two-part workshop in which participants will be trained on how to open up a wifi network so that it is free, accessible, and secure for others to use without losing any bandwidth. Participants will also work together on developing a "script" for spreading the knowledge in order to convert skeptical friends, family, and neighbors into open wireless ambassadors.
Bring your laptop and your wifi router, and we'll show you how to set up your own secure open wireless network!
