<div>hmm as you send up only 1 baloon, i don`t exactly see your need for an mesh routing protocol like olsrd,..<br></div><div><br></div><div>(olsrd usually just talks/interoperate with other olsrd nodes (and then calculates optimal routing), ..<br>
but is does not talk/interoperate not with any wifi network it finds,..)</div><div><br></div><div>it would be different if you would send up hundreds of baloons, or have already a wireless mesh on the ground,.. *G<br></div>

Hello!<br>
<br>
I would like to say hello to the list and introduce myself. Excuse me<br>
for taking up your time.<br>
<br>
I'm a local activist in the Swedish Pirate Party in a small town in<br>
Sweden called Södertälje.<br>
<br>
I'm currently involved in a project that aims to send up a baloon with<br>
a wifi router (openWRT) as high up in the atmosphere as possible. The<br>
wifi-router will have a somewhat better antenna to test how far<br>
connectivity can be achieved.<br>
<br>
The second goal for this baloon is be modified to survive for a very<br>
long time, fully operational on its own, powered by solar panels and<br>
drifting by the wind only.<br>
<br>
On-board, we are currently investigating the olsrd software as coming<br>
along, aswell as a small website. The intention is to provide a<br>
network connection to all that can reach the baloon with wifi.<br>
<br>
Ideally, "the baloon" also provides "old internet" access but we don't<br>
know currently if this is achievable by the use of olrsd. We haven't<br>
tried out olsr out enough yet to know exactly how this could be done.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if you think that this is something interesting. We are happy<br>
to get in contact with people that are experienced in setting up olsrd<br>
in such a way that it is easy to let users (novice ones) join it with<br>
as little effort as possible.<br>
<br>
Thanx for your time! Hope to hear from you.<br>
<br>
/Erik<br>
