## Description

Participants will learn about community networks, wireless mesh networks, distributed applications, and train their pet Raspberry Pi to do networking things. While this course assumes no technical expertise, all sessions contain a technical hands-on component and a reflection activity to explore the role of technologies on our society. A socially-minded tinkerer who enjoys a collaborative learning experience will be the ideal participant.

## Workshop Materials
56
54
57
-
Workshop materials such as lesson plans and worksheets are written as simple [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) files. Each presentation slide deck is created as a Markdown-based [GitBook](https://www.gitbook.com). All generated assets are published to [GitHub Pages individually](https://github.com/tomeshnet/p2p-internet-workshop/tree/gh-pages) and [GitHub Releases as an archive](https://github.com/tomeshnet/p2p-internet-workshop/releases) for download.
58
-
59
-
If you want to generate these assets yourself, simply run `./install-dependencies.sh` and `./build.sh` and you will find the generated assets in the `output` folder. The `./package.sh` script is used to zip up the generated assets into archives convenient for download, which is the form you will find in the GitHub Releases.
60
-
61
-
Travis CI is configured to build, package, and publish a new release to GitHub Releases when you push a new tag, so to publish a new package, all you need is to find the current version with `git tag`, and if the next one should be `v0.4`, you do:
62
-
63
-
git tag v0.4
64
-
git push --tag
65
-
66
-
When using the GitBook presentations at a workshop, you can either:
67
-
68
-
- Load the appropriate module from GitHub Pages, such as [module-1-presentation](https://tomeshnet.github.io/p2p-internet-workshop/module-1-presentation/index.html)
69
-
- Or serve the slides from your local machine by cloning this repository, navigate to the appropriate presentation directory of the module to run `gitbook serve`, then navigate to [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000) from your browser to see the slides

Class materials are written as [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) files and presentation slides are created as a Markdown-based [GitBook](https://www.gitbook.com). All generated assets are hosted on [GitHub Pages]({{ site.baseurl }}/) and packaged as a downloadable archive on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/tomeshnet/p2p-internet-workshop/releases/latest).

## Course Design

When facilitating the workshop in an offline environment, you can run `gitbook serve` from a `presentation` directory to serve the slides on `http://localhost:4000`.

### Objectives
59
+
If you want to generate course assets yourself, simply run `./install-dependencies.sh` and `./build.sh`. You will find the generated assets in the `output` folder. The `./package.sh` script is used to zip up the generated assets into downloadable archives and to create the course website.

-
- Create syllabus with sufficient flexibility so it can be adapted to Toronto Libraries in other areas and other settings
76
-
- With a community network project as basis, establish regular hack nights at the Toronto Libraries' Innovation Hubs
77
-
- Engage students and equip them with necessary knowledge to continue involvement in local mesh community efforts
78
-
- Publish this as open-source syllabus that other communities can adopt to kick-start a mesh community
61

[Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) is configured to build, package, and publish a new release to GitHub Pages and Releases whenever a new tag is pushed. So all you need to create a new release is to push a new tag with `git tag <version>` and `git push --tag`.

### Credits

The first version of this syllabus is created by [Toronto Mesh](https://tomesh.net) contributors: [@benhylau](https://github.com/benhylau), [@darkdrgn2k](https://github.com/darkdrgn2k), [@dcwalk](https://github.com/dcwalk), [@uditvira](https://github.com/uditvira), [@Shrinks99](https://github.com/Shrinks99), and [@Pedro-on-a-bike](https://github.com/Pedro-on-a-bike). While most of the material is created new, the course also incorporates many prior works listed [here]({{ site.baseurl }}/articles/general/general-extra-resources.pdf), or otherwise reference in their individual course modules.
Hands-on activities rely on software from many projects: [mesh-orange](https://github.com/tomeshnet/mesh-orange), [mesh-router-builder](https://github.com/benhylau/mesh-router-builder), [mesh-workshop](https://github.com/benhylau/mesh-workshop/), [steamlink](https://github.com/steamlink), [cjdns](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/), [Yggdrasil](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/about.html), [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/), [Secure Scuttlebutt](https://github.com/ssbc/). Course material generation uses [markdown-pdf](https://github.com/alanshaw/markdown-pdf) and [gitbook-cli](https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook-cli). The course website is built with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), and the theme is from [Mozilla's Open Leadership Training Series](https://github.com/mozilla/open-leadership-training-series). Icons from [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) and [Jake Ingman](https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=mesh&i=74809) are used.
