As a community-owned and volunteer-operated network, it is important to NYC Mesh that any community member who wishes to gain the skills necessary to become a competent network technician can do so. As more of our neighbors learn more about how their Internet connections work, the better our network becomes. In this section, we provide links to educational material that we have produced ourselves as well as links to other quality resources that share our focus on affordable and fair internetwork connectivity.
On Our Blog: “How to start a community network”
One resource deserves special mention: the “How to start a community network” post on our blog.
NYC Mesh volunteers are often asked about how to start projects similar to ours in other areas. One of our founding members wrote a blog post specifically to address this inquiry that has we often use as a standard response to this frequently asked question.
NYC Mesh presentations
In addition to our blog, we also archive many of the presentations and lectures we give about NYC Mesh on our website. Some of these are technical explainers, while others are about the financial, social, legal, or political aspects of running a communty-owned network that connects members to the Internet.
