Stichting Wireless Leiden

The realcoldis coming up, and skating will be possible soon. Who would not like to go skating and post immiediately a picture to the internnet? This is now possible on Veld11 (ice floor Zoeterwoude).
Wireless Leiden has made thisd possible!

Wireless Leiden was already present at PV de Kerkduif (near the ice floor) and has extended this facility to "Veld11". The necessary extra hardware was mounted at CNodePVKerkduif.

Our node Webster in "the building with the small tower" owned by SLS, and rented to Webster University, which node was built for the presence of Serious Request in Leiden, has been rebuilt to a configuration that better suits our network. De temporary configuration was mainly meant to supply internet on the Beestenmarkt. The new configuration gives the node a solid place in our netwerk.

Because the building in which we hold our walk-in consultancy is not available on that day, the walk-in consultancy on January 25, 2012 will be skipped.

As you can see we have added a Twitter box to our site. Whenever you want to mention Wireless Leiden and its activities, nodes or whatever in a tweet, please use the hashtag #WirelessLeiden. The tweet will then also be visible on our site.
You could also place comments about nodes that are malfunctioning or (of course) praise the activities of Wireless Leiden on Twitter!

Volunteers of Wireless Leiden have upgraded two more nodes in the dark days before Christmas, after which they are conform our IRIS-concept:
- the node Zijloever at the Lage Morsweg 129, on the house for the elderly "Zijloever", and
- the node Rund at the Jan Vossensteeg / Rundermarkt.

These tow nodes are fully up and running again and completely embedded in our network, in their new configuration in which they comply to the high standards that are required by IRIS.

Volunteers of Wireless Leiden have built a new node on the (new) building of the ROC (school) at the Lammenschansweg on December 20, 2011.

As can bee seen on the picture, the building had to be continued until it was dark already! It can also be seen that a double layer of tiles was necessary to give the node the necessary stability in rough weather.

Wireless Leiden today set up a wireless connection to the big video screen on the City Hall square. Now the Serious Request event on the Beestenmarkt can be followed 'live'. Several attempts by the organizers to get a 'commercial' solution working were unsuccessfull. The Wireless Leiden connection was up and running in 30 minutes.

Thanks to our sponosr Advocatenkantoor DeClerqc for making the internet access available.

On the organizer's request we have set up a wireless connection from the "Houten Hut" to the Wireless Leiden network and, faciliating the live streaming of events in the Houten. The Houten Hut is located next to the Hooglandse Kerk. The students association dispuut Sjap Eisjedies of Quintus organise the Houten Hut event.

Due to the holiday season, there will be no walk-in consultancy on December 28, 2011. The next walk-in consultancy wiil be held on January 11, 2012.
Wireless Leiden wishes all its volunteers and users a Happy Christmas and a prosperous 2012.
