In February of this year I gave a presentation on mesh network to SBARC, the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club. At that time, there was no mesh networking going on in the area. Apparently I ignited a spark :-)
Fast forward to today - they have a mesh network that extends for 60 miles (using Gibraltar and Santa Ynez Peaks) covering 60% of the county with plans to finish coverage by the end of this year. They have 20+ users, various services including things like webcams, weather stations, NTP servers, webSDR receivers, and VOIP available. It's all on 2.4 GHz now, but they will be putting up their first 3 GHz link in a few weeks.
We also hope to link Santa Barbara County to Ventura County to the southeast this fall.

We're working an L.A contact to get from Chatsworth to Verdugo. Funding for the eastward link from Verdugo to Pleasants remains an issue... :-/
