After some "lobbying" ;) efforts on the OLSR mailing list, it seems that an almost complete version of the PAA server/plugin for OLSR will be released shortly: Server is coming soon and the plug-in will follow!

I'm gonna try and package the whole thing for the Maemo Platform for which i got a dev rebate for the N810 (disclaimer ;). If i can make this work seemlessly for users i hope to be able to port this to the OLPC, OpenMoko, DS, Eee, etc... and general linux on laptops of course.

Roar's Announcement on the OLSR's mailing-list follows after the break! :-)

Here is the collection of links, there is a bit of everything, sorting is probably not exact but still, a lot of food for thoughts. I'll try to maintain them or repost updates... (yes i know, release early, release often! ;)

Anything pertaining to building and thinking a wearable (or not? :P) technology, knowledge and culture reaproriation architecture goes here, enjoy and comment! :)

So what solutions shall we try?
We'd like to develop a wearable setup which is as efficient, cheap, light and small as possible with commercially available products so it can be easily cloned and replicated. We want it to be as simple as possible but as complete too while being easy to maintain over time. The design should really be about open standards, free softwares and general purpose computers with enough extra room (CPU, RAM, disks) for easy extensions.

Another important goal is to put as much control in the hand of the user. We realized that most needs for this project exist at least partially in some form or another and we think that with some glue with could try and make them all fit together for an interesting result. It would be impossible for us to reinvent the wheel and therefore a solid base of well known free software should be the basis for most of our requirements.

Where knowledge lives is as important as our ability to access it. It is as much a feedback loop as it is a given piece of information and so it happens between people. The less 3rd party acknowledgment we need, the better we can cooperate. Imagine having to ask a server to be able to talk to a friend in a bar: sounds stupid? Well, many protocols work like this either passively or actively. The more complex they get, the more control is owned by the operators. And the fewer the operators, the less benevolent they get, but that we already knew...
