🌀 Mesh Dispatch: Regional Design Series, December Meetup & October Recap

Thanks to everyone who joined us last month for the Capital Region Mesh Kick-Off. This month, we’re diving deeper—with a new series of technical blog posts and another in-person meetup, both focused on designing mesh architectures.

🧭 New Blog Series: Building Meshes That Actually Deliver

We just published a new post exploring the foundations of reliable regional mesh architecture—what it means, why it's necessary, and how it can guide our next steps. This is the first in a series serving as a primer for the December meetup presentation.

🔗 Read the full post to learn how a little bit of intentional design, deployment, and configuration can reshape how reliability is achieved in our mesh.

🗓 Next Meetup: Regional Mesh Architecture Deep Dive

Join us for our next in-person gathering on Wednesday, December 3rd at the UU Church in Concord. We’ll walk through:
- Configuring local meshes to operate within a larger regional structure
- Building specialized node designs to bridge the local-regional gap
- Testing real-world deployments to validate those ideas

Whether you’re prototyping, testing, or just curious, this is a great chance to connect and collaborate. 👉 Event details & RSVP

🔍 October Recap: Kick-Off Highlights

At last month’s Kick-Off, we:
- Got hands-on with the newest generation of the RPT series router nodes
- Honed in on the importance of ready-made kits for effective outreach
- Debated how best to structure the organization to advance our goal of building more resilient, community-driven connectivity

📄 Read the full recap for more details, photos, and takeaways from the event.

Thanks again to everyone who showed up, asked questions, and helped get us off to a great start. Special thanks to Bill for sharing his latest enclosure prototype with us.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon—and taking the next step towards a reliable mesh together.
