Project List

Survey community needs

• Planned use cases for off-grid mesh comms? (Emergency preparednedness and/or countersurveillance?)
• Digital privacy/security needs of existing activist organizations?
• Skills that people want to learn? (i.e. 3D printing, microcontroller programming, HAM radio...)
• We will document needs during our March 22nd meeting, and make a plan to address them.
• If you have ideas/requests/resources, get in touch at contact@hyphapdx.org

Develop a resilient Meshcore network

• Outreach to other orgs to get key community organizers in the mesh
• Host workshops for training and node building
• Build resource pool through donations, distribute to areas of need

Distribute info on the importance of digital privacy

• Physical zines
• Website/Online propaganda

Build decentralized server storage for Portland activists

• Acquire old computers and other donated hardware (because new computers are too damn expensive)
• Educate and assist people in building their own server through workshops and buddy program
• Assist other orgs to store their data locally outside the watchful eyes of big tech
• Create shared distributed data storage for technical documentation, safety resources, and other important info. Design this in a way where if one server is taken offline, there are other backups.
• Need to consult with security professionals on how to do this safely
