As many of you know, I co-founded and run the
Southern California Wireless Users Group along with
Frank Keeney. We have been running these meetings since early 2002.
Our meetings are held on Thursday's at the end of the month and tonight's the night!.
Mike and Frank are both out of town tonight, so your humble hosts have decided to launch the first informal
SOCALWUG/IHOP meeting. This meeting will be a free-for-all, run-what-you-brung, informal meetup of SOCALWUG members.
Bring your wireless cards, Linux laptops, digital picture frames, whatever, and ask a wireless geek for help. Or show
off your hotrod of a notebook, access point, handheld wireless device, or any other neato gadget. If you are
representing a company, feel free to get up and take the floor and show us your wares. For news hounds, catch everyone
up on recent wireless events. (For starters, IHOP is installing wireless nationwide!)
SOCALWUG is going open source tonight. Participatory and open ended. Share and enjoy!

If you can't be there in person, participate online through email, IM,
or IRC chat.

Live video in real-time…
You’ll need the free Real Player download from www.real.com. We use RealVideo 8 format for live and archived videos. So even an old version will work fine.
Re-visit in virtual-time…
Over the past 2 years, meetings have covered topics such as wardriving, security, antenna construction, spectrum analysis, wifi kiosks, coffee house hotspots, fixed wireless internet, mobile wireless, radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra wideband (UWB), GPS and GPS jamming, community wireless, and a myriad of company products. If it’s wireless, we’ve discussed it!
