[Berlin-wireless] Erfahrungen mit OpenWISP oder anderer zentraler Netzverwaltung?

[jon ⚝]

Hi Dirk,

thanks for the additional context. It's good to learn that there is 
diversity in implementation in the field.

Once we had multiple sites up and running, I would be keen to test many 
of them.

For now I feel more confident with the Python ecosystem myself, despite 
I've heard only good things about CakePHP and PHP 8 (possibly also due 
to the Facebook work in the area).

I'll need to understand these systems better, as I was never exposed to 
the thing you called RADIUS. It seems relevant, though.

I'd like to follow on privately on your invitation, when I have spoken 
with the people from the site.

It may be better to use a system with support available close to Berlin, 
rather than having to work across the globe with people India. Although 
that's also tempting.

I'll message you within the next few weeks on this alias.

Beste Grüße aus Fürstenwalde,

Jon
