[SGVLUG] SGVLUG June Meeting - Data Roads Foundation

[Braddock Gaskill]

Our speaker tomorrow, Jared Hardy, should be quite interesting.

He has been working for years to build out a community broadband mesh
network in LA, and will delve into the technical and legal ramifications,
including his creation of a non-profit framework to allow these types of
projects to thrive nationwide, and the technology to take it to the next
level.

Look forward to seeing everyone there.
