So let me get this straight..

They were able to get the necessary tools (including a private-freaking-jet) to do some wardriving/warflying..

And they didn't have decent servers to handle a Slashdotting?

Oh, this is Australia. Never mind.

Go Perth!

Go Perth!

It's clear that Perth is really making great progress in the wireless community - we're ahead of the rest of Australia in terms of size of the network and interest per capita and we're really starting to link the state up.

While the wireless communities in other states are arguing over how they're going to incorporate or how they're going to manipulate everyone politically - here in WA we're focusing on actually making it work with no one person running the show. Decisions are made by the consensus, not an individual voted in to speak on our behalf. People contribute because they're interested and keen to help out.

It's seeing initiatives like this warflying expedition which really makes me glad to be a part of the Perth wireless community!

Go Perth!
