Wireless Workshop: Community Connectivity



"Because paying for Wi-fi Makes it Nice". First slide from Jonathan Forester Workshoppers preparing cans for soldering and fixing the N type Female Chassis-mount connector. Suzi Pritchett and Meg Duguid working as a team to empower an old coffee can. Workshop leader Jonathan making light of the frustrating task of fixing the connectors to the cans.
Workshoppers endured, and found their own methods to the madness. Nuts and bolts of building a cantennae. Jonathan pointing out the pigtail connection to the wireless router. Inching our way across Yerba Buena gardens, we found that the range of 
one antennae was quite far reaching.
Jonathan testing our range using i-chat After a long day of workshopping, workshopper Phil joins friends in Tom Marioni Curator, Rene Deguzman pops down from the administrative offices to take part in

the action. San Francisco resident, Scatha, takes notes feverishly so that she can teach her

2 year old how to make an antennae.
