Comments on: OpenWebVancouver recap http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/2008/04/17/openwebvancouver-recap/ A blog about what I do during the day Thu, 07 Jul 2011 01:00:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Joe B http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/2008/04/17/openwebvancouver-recap/comment-page-1/#comment-4574 Joe B Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:55:36 +0000 http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/?p=39#comment-4574 I think the jury is still out with that. I am not convinced that Open-Mesh is technically better than Meraki as far as hardware is concerned. I have more confidence in the BATMAN protocol for routing, but after working with both the reflashed Meraki devices and the Open-Mesh devices, I still prefer the Meraki hardware. Both Meraki and Open-Mesh.com were bound by CALEA and Patriot Act, and it always a point of contention with FreeTheNet.ca. It actually really became something really important when the Kiwis on the list talked about it. Also, I'm thinking that Nightwing may be a better approach to the firmware than ROBIN, and I do plan on investigating that release in the next couple weeks as a new software base to build our firmware on.
