Pretty sure we don't know each other. I am a fairly recent addition to the country (2019) but we've worked with Dan and Beanfield during COVID when we put together a server for Folding@Home in our office to help them with the huge increase in load due to interest in the COVID research they were doing. Beanfield sponsors the pipe and we donated the hardware and rackspace. That server (the only Canadian one), by the way, is still running to this day. We also came up with the WiFi@Toronto project which a paper says reduced the spread of COVID in those neighbourhoods by 14.4% (https://utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/f542d219-7abe-4918-846f-...). Again, Beanfield sponsored the pipe to exit all the traffic onto the internet and we sponsored the networking equipment and were the ones installing the APs on rooftops.


Cool project! You're probably right - I haven't been in the Liberty Village area much since 2014, and moved to the US in 2022.
