-* The WiFi Roach Coach: wherein we hack together a wimax modem with a
-wifi router and a rechargeable battery, and stick the whole rig in a
-backpack, to create an ultra-mobile wifi hotspot with uplink.  We'd
-also build other backpacks which repeat the wifi signal from the
-"uplink" backpack.  Also: costumes.
-* MediaBox (aka HAL, halproject.net), a network-attached storage
-device (Linksys NSLU2) that we deploy alongside a wifi router to offer
-localized "rich media" (does anyone use that term anymore?).
-* Tunneling: passing all traffic over an OpenVPN tunnel, so that it can't be messed with by whoever's providing the connectivity (and can't be traced back to them).
-* Pretty visualizations: digging deep into the wifidog database to
-look at the stats that we're collecting, and creating new ways of
-visualizing the information -- both to gain new knowledge about how
-people are using the network, and also in order to make pretty images.
- Also: auralizations.
-** I (Patrick) have volunteered to put together this hack night, as it's a topic I find interesting. I'm thinking [[http://www.geoiq.com/ heat maps]] and [[http://sparkline.org/ sparklines]] and other fun stuff like that. This could be a good way to play with some cool tools, learn more about the WiFi dog db and pull interesting information out of the mass of data we have on use of our hotspots.
-* Community portal pages: finding new data sources, importing new
-data, watching how people use it, comparisons with other captive
-portals, surveys(?), etc.  Community portal pages are still what
-excites me most about Wireless Toronto.
