Venue: Eyebeam
Who: Hans-Christoph Steiner, Steve Lambert, Michael Mandiberg, Jeff

If everyone took the passwords off their wifi, we'd have a free,  
citywide wireless network. Sound like a good idea? Then help us make  
it happen!

Eyebeam's Open Cultures Research Group will be running a workshop in  
which participants will be trained on how to open up a wifi network so  
that it is free, accessible, and secure for others to use without  
making it slow for the owner. Participants will also work together on  
developing a "script" for spreading the knowledge in order to convert  
skeptical friends, family, and neighbors into open wireless ambassadors.

Bring your laptop and your wifi router, and we'll show you how to set  
up your own secure open wireless network!
