This is the start page of the wiki for the SEANetMap project, a collaboration between M-Lab and Code for Seattle. SEANetMap is web-based technology for communal situational awareness of the local broadband environment. Individuals run network performance tests, the City of Seattle collects the crowd sourced netword test data, and provides reports on the quality of broadband service throughout the city, while protecting individuals privacy.

The code is demo'd live at http://broadbandtogether.com

(Note that the domain name broadbandtogether.com has no official connotations associated with it. It is simply a domain at which to demo the code.)

Introduction

Quoting the original meetup intro:

Code for Seattle is teaming up with M-Lab to work on a city broadband map for Seattle! The goal is to build an online tool for collecting and visualizing speed test data, and allowing citizens to easily compare internet options and costs.

Calendar

2015-05-26: Status meeting

• TBD

2015-05-28: Code for Seattle's Civic Hack Night

• Civic Hacking Night at The Ninkasi Better Living Room
• Thursday, May 28, 2015 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

• the #codeforseattle IRC channel on freenode.net (low traffic)

Scope

The main goal at this time is to bang out a Seattle specific site. Yet it is very clearly a longer term goal to have a codebase which can easily be deployed by other localities. This Seattle site will be useful for Seattle, but might best be viewed as the version 1.0 "one for the pan" as we warm up and learn what reusable code will look like and what feature it will have.
