[Make-wifi-fast] make-wifi-fast 3 proposal help?

[Dave Taht]

As I am doing, also, would be to submit to a grant process from somewhere -
ardc is who I am targeting primarily with my proposal, but nlnet has been a
consistent funder, and (sometimes), comcast. I keep hoping the telecom
infrastructure project gains clue with their openwifi group - but far too
few overall can understand the vision you have. I was hoping that now that
enough people knew that starlink had gone fq_codel that there would be a
rush to implement - but noooooo....

and you want to go waaaay beyond that. I think talking about where you want
to go in front of 802.11 would be a great place to start. I was planning on
attending netdevconf in san jose in mid july, the next 802.11 wg meeting is
in montreal
