Meshing and connecting with other Pirateboxes, sharing data.

Hello!

The PirateBox is a project I've been following and it interests me a lot, as does a lot of offline, self-server kind of stuff. I noticed a Gnutella thread and an IPFS thread here, and I know that there is work being done to share files among Pirateboxes using Forban.

My tech interests have lead me to the mesh community, and I am a member of Toronto Mesh, a volunteer group of hackers and tinkerers. We have some code which meshes Raspberry Pis or other single board computers, and allows them to share files, through regular means or in a decentralized way with IPFS. I feel like we could both learn a lot from each other, and that our mesh code could provide some solutions to the idea of Piratebox meshing and sharing.

If this interests you, please take a look at the repo, our website, and drop by our matrix chatroom, in our main or Software channels. I would love to hear from you guys! We can talk a bit in this thread as well, but you'll be able to talk to everyone if you go on the chatroom.

What do you all think?

Just going to bump this. I'd love to talk to Matthias about this if I could.
