 ## Workshop Materials
 
-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](https://tomeshnet.github.io/p2p-internet-workshop/) and packaged as a downloadable archive on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/tomeshnet/p2p-internet-workshop/releases/latest).

-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`.

+
+			---
+
+			# Who made this?
+
+			This workshop series is made by [Toronto Mesh](https://tomesh.net), a group of volunteers using off-the-shelf hardware and peer-to-peer software to build a community mesh network.
+
+			Over the course of six workshops, we will:
+
+			- Learn how to build and maintain mesh networks
+			- Familiarize with peer-to-peer applications and their values vs. centralized systems
+			- Reflect on the politics of our technologies and what a distributed web may bring
+
+			The syllabus, along with all course material is open-source and adapts resources from [Commotion Wireless](http://commotionwireless.net), [Meta Mesh](https://www.metamesh.org), [networks.land](http://networks.land), [(Re)Building Technology](http://communitytechnology.github.io/), among others.

+			- In 2017, [Hurrican Maria in Puerto Rico](https://dyn.com/blog/puerto-ricos-slow-internet-recovery/) caused significant damage to last-mile infrastructure, slow recovery of general internet access long after core infrastructure is restored

+			# Peer-to-peer applications
+
+			![Peer-to-peer applications](slide-images/peer-to-peer-applications.svg)
+
+			- Distribute content to mesh nodes such that you can access them from your peers, and their peers, and so on...
+			- Content-addressing schemes allow you to self-verify integrity of the data, so you don't have to trust the data source
+			- Content replication across nodes + distributed communication infrastructure make it difficult for single actors to monitor, censor, or destroy information access, discourage large collections of personal information, and allows for democratic forms of moderation
+
+			---
+
+			# Mesh communities
+
+			- Established mesh networks such as [Freifunk](https://freifunk.net) and [Guifi](http://guifi.net/) in Europe, [Metamesh](https://www.metamesh.org) and [People's Open](https://peoplesopen.net) in the U.S., [AlterMundi](https://altermundi.net) in Argentina, and many more
+			- Common activities include flashing and putting up off-the-shelf routers, building free software and custom hardware, developing technical literacy material, providing low-cost internet access, community organizing locally and globally (such as [Battle Mesh](https://battlemesh.org))
+			- Large variations across different mesh communities in their approach and ambitions
+

+
+			# Peer-to-peer file sharing on a mesh
+
+			Each Raspberry Pi:
+			- Has a unique name in the form of `<hostname>.local`
+			- Advertises a WiFi SSID `<hostname>` which you can connect with `password` as password
+			- Connects to other in-range Raspberry Pis via a second WiFi interface to form a mesh
+
+			We will use the [InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)](https://ipfs.io), a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol, to share content with each other on our own network.
+
+			You can think of the Raspberry Pi as your home router and modem connecting to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), except now it has a direct line to other content-serving mesh nodes just like itself, and has superpowers because it runs like a full computer.
+
+			---
+
+			# Investigate our technologies
+
+			Select a popular website or application and investigate based on the following criteria:
+
+			1. Mission & Ownership
+			2. Design & Access
+			3. Community & Local Impact
+			4. Profit & Sustainability
+			5. Teaching & Learning

+			# Wrap-up & Homework
+
+			---
+
+			# Recap
+
+			- Presented the general state of peer-to-peer networks and services
+			- Experimented with a distributed peer-to-peer application run over off-internet mesh network infrastructure
+			- Touched upon community models for creating and managing technologies
+
+			_Questions?_
+
+			---
+
+			# Homework
+
+			Next session we will dive into networking on GNU/Linux and explore the layers between the application we used today and the cable or WiFi radio connecting these nodes.

+			- Compares IP routing to postal delivery system
+			- Explains acronyms like IP, DHCP, and NAT
+			- Explains how addresses are distributed and routing in hierarchical ISP networks
+			- Provides background for future discussions about self-addressing of IPv6 and mesh based "flat" routing
