And So It Begins…
Welcome to Ravalli Mesh!
If you’ve already joined our group chat on LongFast, thank you! If not – come join us! Right now, there’s a small group of us in the Hamilton and Corvallis area. Our coverage is still small, but we’re growing fast as we build and improve our network.
There are lots of ways to stay in touch:
- 📨 Email newsletter – get updates and build news [visit]
- 💬 Zulip chat server – great for planning and tech talk [visit]
- 🌐 This website (ravallimesh.org) – your info hub
- 📡 LongFast over the mesh network – real-time chat over the air
We’d love to see you – or your node – online and saying hi! Check out our Recommended Settings page to make sure your setup is friendly to others on the mesh.
Can’t reach our network yet? You can still help!
We’re always looking for new locations for nodes. We even have a Property Owner FAQ to share with your friends, neighbors, or local businesses who might want to host one. A few of us are always busy building and setting up new nodes. Many of our remote nodes run completely off-grid using solar panels and batteries, so they can work almost anywhere.
Like all new projects, there might be a few hiccups along the way. Nodes can come and go, and that’s okay. We’re working hard to make the network strong and reliable so it can handle changes and keep everyone connected.
Let’s build the future of communication – one node at a time.
