I’m trying to raise $60K to make the internet safe for freedom fighters,
teenage girls and your grandmother.
This dude is my boss. According to the NYTimes, he’s pushing this.
You can “like” it here and donate to our kickstarter here. If you see a need for the work we’re doing, toss some money in the bucket. Every scrap helps. And please, tell your friends. We need the privacy paranoiacs (a group among which I count myself) to get together on this.
This project is personal to me, and I really appreciate your
support. Thanks!
Sold! You’ve inspired me to sign up. In addition to privacy concerns, what grabbed my attention was the idea of an alternative mesh network. We need a truly decentralized internet. Thanks!
That’s awesome, Scott! Thanks for your support!
Hey James. We met in July 2009 at lunch after a NYC council hearing + at an Open Plans event. I also happened to attend the freedom box session at HOPE. A non-profit I’m part of posts at PhiBetaIota.net and Freedom Box has been posted over there BTW:

“Autonomous Internet” has been a more recent subject over there and it will be a subject to circulate at the Contact Con in October in NYC – http://contactcon.com
It’s cool to have been in the HOPE session and to see it progress to Kickstarter.
JZ, thanks for the kind words and the reference to the links. It’s exciting to see all the community support this effort has generated. We’ll have more news soon!
