##Commotion Router
Commotion is an open source “device-as-infrastructure” communication platform that integrates users’ existing cell phones, Wi-Fi enabled computers, and other wireless-capable devices to create community- and metro-scale, peer-to-peer communications networks.
Commotion software exists for multiple platforms; this repository contains the build system for the OpenWRT router firmware distribution of the Commotion Wireless project. This repo builds the following other Commotion projects in order to create installation images for turning select wireless routers into Commotion nodes.

###The Commotion Daemon
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotiond.git
The commotion daemon is an embedded daemon and library that provides a common interface for managing wireless mesh networks.
###LuCI Commotion
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/luci-commotion
The Commotion LuCI web interface extensions provide an easy to understand interface that allows a new user to quickly configure a node to their needs.
###Commotion Theme
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/luci-theme-commotion
The Commotion OpenWRT theme for the web-interface on Commotion wireless routers.
###Commotion Application Portal
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/luci-commotion-apps
The application suite allows for developers to easily advertise applications over a commotion mesh using mdns, users to easily find applications through the router app advertising interface, and node owners to easily manage and customize their application portals to better support community application support.
###Commotion Service Manager
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-service-manager
The service manager discovers and verifies announcements of applications hosted on the network, and loads them into the apps portal.
###Libserval
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/serval-dna
Serval's key management library allows transparent encryption and authentication of messages.
###Commotion Debug Helper
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-debug-helper
The debugging helper creates custom, downloadable informational debugging documents for offline debugging, or to send to network maintainers. Each of these new tools needs testing to find errors as well as to ensure their usability.
###Commotion Dashboard Helper
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-dashboard-helper
The dashboard helper reports statistics to an external dashboard.
###Commotion Splash
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/luci-commotion-splash
A custom captive portal/splash screen and an interface for customizing it, built around nodogsplash (https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash).
##Installation
How to create a Commotion image from source: (the really really quick guide)

$ git clone https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-openwrt.git
$ cd commotion-openwrt/
$ ./setup.sh
$ cd openwrt/
$ make menuconfig
This will open a menu to allow you to choose your wireless chipset and customize your install.
$ make V=99
$ cd bin/
You will find a folder with the name of your wireless chip here. Within this folder lies images you can install on your wireless router.
