What is the best way to get a city/town bootstrapped in this way? I have Meshtastic devices already so I’m familiar with the tech but the social aspect is a challenge.
Organized Mesh Networks:
I know this isn’t a complete list of organized mesh groups. If you know of others post them as a reply here, also contact Austin Mesh to let them know too.

If you don’t have one in your area yet, consider starting one.

Suggestions: How to jump start a local mesh / meshes
⚡️ Local ham clubs would have folks interested
⚡️ Bitcoin meetups are good spots
⚡️ Neighbors are a great place to start
⚡️ Local off road and out door activity groups that would need off grid comms
⚡️ Local hacker or maker spaces
⚡️ Church / religous community
⚡️ Local family
⚡️ There may be groups in your area that already exist but are only using legacy social media
📟 Buy a few extra Helltec v3 on AliExpress and sell them at cost to people that you would want in your network. 📟
Thank you! Great ideas here
