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.
Let me be the first to welcome you to the list Charles.
Look forward to your contributions in the coming years and of course seeing you get to be a HAM with RF :-)
