ki/Freifunk .. _Ninux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NinuxSupporting these three networks would require support for two different mesh protocols, OLSR and batman-adv, since they are the ones used (and which one depends on the city / neighborhood). On the other hand, these networks usually provide OpenWRT images that run the mesh stack and provide a local network to which people can connect their computers: the FreedomBox could just ignore the mesh part and connect this way.
For anyone interested in deploying mesh nodes it's a little off-topic but I've recently made some changes on the Freedombone project which make deploying Batman Adv mesh nodes simple, together with supporting Tox and ZeroNet communications over the mesh. You just dd the mesh image to a microSD, attach Wifi dongle and boot. Unique keys get generated automatically on first boot, so that each mesh node has a unique ID. If you have enough hardware then in an emergency or for a festival you could deploy one mesh node every 5 minutes from a laptop using the dd command. Something similar could be done for a FreedomBox mesh.
