Meh. What’s mesh?

mesh:

“A type of network where each node must not only capture and disseminate its own data, but also serve as a relay for other sensor nodes, that is, it must collaborate to propagate the data in the network.”

This rather apt definition was taken from Wikipedia, which is itself probably humanity’s largest and most successful experiment in the power of the mesh.

We think the concept of mesh networking, that it relies on peer-to-peer interaction and engagement, is an apt description for our network for nonprofit professionals. It’s not about the organization you work for. It’s not about your boss, your board, or your funder. It’s about you. It’s about me. It’s about us. People who are engaged in nonprofit work and are looking for ways to connect, to share, to learn.

  1. Hi – Not sure how best to contact MESH (can’t find contact info), so going this route for now.
    I’m trying to find contacts among young non-profit executives/managers in Ottawa and MESH seems like a great project. I wonder if there are meetings as part of MESH, other than ‘mixers’. If so, I’d like to attend sometime. If I could learn more about MESH then I might well be interested in joining or helping out.
