24 Feb 2010 - 10:00pm

Meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month (except December) specifically for members and the community in order to come together to discuss and share information about technology.

Air-Stream Wireless is the largest community wireless network (CWN) in Australia, and it has achieved this feat by being more than just building a network. It is a group of friendly people who have a common interest in technology and who want to learn more, share skills, pool resources. Of course there are opportunities to help build the network too, host content on the network, participate in events, support other members to get connected and along the way form new friendships. So why not come along to a meeting and see what it is all about.
