Hello,
So where is the coordination currently happening for long distance links (the backbone) of the network ? While I am happy to create a new topic for this I do believe spreading out the information all over the place will make it hard to follow.
I have seen the community guidelines and thank you and appreciate your efforts 
I have checked out several of the MC channels but hard to know which ones are inactive or are inactive simply because we do not yet have the necessary coverage.
I also believe there is some discussions around implementing region filtering but I dont know what the current status of this is. Has it already been implemented. I am working my way through the topic MeshCore Regions - #81 by stef but it take some time including the translations.
Kind Thanks,
Serge
