Abstract
Software in general, and telecommunication in particular, relies on a sprawling infrastructure of networking, hosting, and electrical infrastructure that no single person understand. On the other hand, a key component of mutual aid and disaster preparedness is the knowledge and tools to provide such services in a context where your immediate community might have to provide some of its own needs. Let's talk about how you could contribute to that by building communication software that you can use, modify, and fix on your own as much as possible.
