CTWUG Naming Convention
Contents
Why
CTWUG needs some standards on naming the devices/ssid's. By using this naming convention it makes the admin tasks easier, and also promote CTWUG at the same time. When some one scan and finds the http://ctwug.za.net/mars1 SSID, he/she can click on the link and go to the website. This also lets any user have their own page where he/she is in control of the content. Every wugger should use these rules :)
