Re: [44net] Introducing myself

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hello, Charles Wyble here. I'm new to the list and thought I would introduce myself. Glad to be here. I'm the cofounder and CTO of the Free Network Foundation (http://www.thefnf.org). I'm not currently licensed as a HAM, however my co founder is. I stumbled across 44net via some folks up in Seattle doing a HAM WAN net. My background is in large scale systems (10000+ servers), storage, security, virtualization and basic data center networking. I'm now getting into WAN networking and the fact that an entire /8 is available to HAMs has convinced me to get my license very soon. For anyone who wants to experiment with BGP/WAN networking etc, please do let me know. (I've seen some folks on list express that, and I'll be reaching out). I know my cofounder will be requesting some address space very soon to experiment with. This is a great opportunity to get started on the real internet, because as mentioned IPv4 space is almost impossible to get these days. I look forward to being an active participant in the list. As far as I know, this is the only address space that's publicly administered/discussed etc. That alone is a huge draw for me. Everyone else that has space keeps governance closed. _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
