Welcome you all, I think we are all very happy to have you on board.

Amazing to notice you came up with a format that is not too different
from the NetworkDevice, which is a synthesis of the data one can get
from ubus, nodewatcher-agent, openwifi map and the nodeshot API.

Well the next thing is to start using it in the real world. We'll be
doing that in the next couple of months, hopefully if other people do it
we can gather feedback and talk about it in person at the battlemesh and
CCC.
