course in Mobile Networking. My partner and I want to make an<br>
application for a disaster or crisis that will use the mesh network on<br>
the XO. Our goal is to enable people with XO laptops, and those around<br>
them, to communicate with search and rescue personnel, aid<br>
organizations, and each other in the event of a disaster. We want to<br>
develop a delay-tolerant peer to peer application utilizing the mesh<br>
networking functionality of XOs, so messages can be forwarded from one<br>
machine to another, hopefully reaching the recipient or an XO<br>
connected to the Internet. Messages that reach the Internet can be<br>
displayed on a map, a model successfully used in Haiti by Ushahidi. If<br>
anyone in the Santa Barbara or Los Angeles area has an XO they could<br>
let us use for the next month or two, please send me an email! I would<br>
really appreciate it.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
