Freimap is a visualization and analysis environment for mesh networks, such as for example Ninux.org. This software is able to display all informations about the topology of the network and interact with the OLSR nodes.

The first is that currently the software is. You can draw graphs  about links (LQ, NLQ, ETX etc) and see the data of a single node, find  service with service discovery, etc... The second is what the software can do with the interaction with Netkit that is an emulation tool. The idea is to make a module for the emulation of a node to see how it works in a particular position and environment. This means to have the possibility to test and configure it before implement all in the reality and also have the possibility to create an emulated mesh network in a few minutes!!

Actually Freimap is a standalone software. If you want to use it you have to download, install it and configure it. In the era of web 2.0 a lot of people have permanent access to the internet so most applications has been transferred on the web with the main purpose to use these apps everywhere you are and when you want. The only requirement is an internet connection. In this scenario you can get all informations that you need (e-mail, chat, etc) about mesh networks anywhere at anytime…Freimap like a Web Application means: Actually Freimap is a standalone software.

During the GSoC2010 has been presented a project titled: "Define a common node database schema". This is the first steps for the development of this kind of application.

The second step is to make a porting from Java to Javascript but the automatic porting java/swing to javascript is to difficult to apply (there are some software that do that but aren’t bug-free). The main idea is to obtain javascript source code that can be simply editable on which build the new FreiMap WebApp. So for the current structure we have to rewrite only a part of Freimap software. This is the most important part, that receive informations from datasource and draws it thanks to the MainLayer. It appears to simply to put the servlet interface and run it as a servlet container (i.e. Apache Tomcat) The second step is to make a porting from Java to Javascript but the automatic porting java/swing to javascript is too difficult to apply (there is some software that do that but are not bug-free).

Linea 79: Linea 81:
A lot of traffic in the mesh is caused by the use of Social Networks, the actual problem is that our Internet bandwidth is limited and doing some prevision we think that we cannot provide bandwidth for the increasing number of people connecting to our Mesh Network, so a possible solution to reduce "a lot of hop" and "outgoing" traffic is to provide most used services like social networking distributed in the mesh. Intensive use of social network services is the cause of a big part of the traffic in our Mesh Network, our internet bandwidth is limited end we forecast that we cannot provide bandwidth for the increasing number of people connecting, so a possible solution to reduce the dependance from the Internet is to provide most used services like social networking inside the mesh in a distributed fashion.
Mesh Social Network means:
 * Use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_%28software%29|Diaspora]] as backend.
 * Provide autodiscovery between servers trough [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf|Zeroconf]].
 * Provide autodiscovery between servers and clients trough [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf|Zeroconf]].
 * Provide mobile integration and synchronization for android address-book.

Linea 86: Linea 94:
A lot of people want to use voip in our mesh network but they encounter some problems:
 * Existent major voip solution depend on internet ( like skype or gtalk )
 * Most of major existent voip solution have not good mobile phone integration ( like skype )
 * Most of major existent voip solution doesn't support ipv6 ( our network is primarily ipv6 )
 * Internet bandwidth on our network is going to exhaustion
Many people want to use VOIP in our mesh network but they step into some problems:
 * Existant major videoconferencing solutions depend on the Internet ( like skype or gtalk )
 * Most of major existant videoconferencing solutions have not a good mobile phone integration ( like skype )
 * Most of major existant videoconferencing solutions doesn't support ipv6 ( our network is primarily ipv6 )
 * Internet bandwidth on our network is going towards exhaustion
Linea 92: Linea 100:
A possible solution is to create a distributed voip network taking advantage from and and create a good integrated voip client also for mobile systems like android To solve these issues we decided to implement Mesh Videoconferencing Network:
 * Use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_%28software%29|Diaspora]] as backend.
 * Use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Messaging_and_Presence_Protocol|XMMP]] + [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29|Jingle]] as protocol.

A possible solution is to create a distributed VOIP network and to create a good integrated VOIP client, targeted also for mobile systems like android

Google summer of Code 2011

For the year 2011 the Ninux.org community decided to participate to Google Summer of Code (GSoC 2011).

About Google Summer of Code

Here some info on GSoC

http://code.google.com/images/GSoC2011_300x200.png

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 successful student participants and 2500 mentors from 98 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
