Thomas Belote, Wireless Mesh Networking 
As a grad student at SJSU, Thomas has worked on Wireless Mesh Networking
and Mobile Ad Hoc Networking. The talk will compare solutions like OLSR
and Microsoft's sorta open source Mesh Connectivity Layer (though it
doesn't run on Linux). He will discuss why WDS is not sufficient and a
mesh protocol is needed, and discuss the lack of openness thus far in
802.11s even though it is included in the OLPC, as well as security
issues that I am still currently researching.
