[isf-wifidog] quick update from the conference

[Dana Spiegel]

Very glad to hear more groups are gearing up to use the software.  
We're expanding in NY also based on discussions we had at the  
conference.

This really opens up the need to figure out how to federate our users  
across networks. If we can put together a roaming system, we'll have  
a hotspot network that rivals the commercial providers!
