[olug] Omaha area 802.11 wireless community network?

[Jon]

Just think of an omahanet.  People could run webservers at home again.  :).  Ok so maybe Mom can't login and check it out but it would still be cool to be able to share.  I can run an opennap server.  I don't think I am in range I am at 60th and nw radio.  I also can't really afford the 150 to get a card going.
