peoplesopen.net is now available in sudo room, meaning that the peoplesopen.net wifi in sudo room is connected to the rest of the mesh. Daniel and myself took advantage of this to remote-reconfigure his home node to change which ethernet ports are used for which network. Started documenting the Omni wifi network as we finish configuring the last routers: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/OmniWifi Will came by and we crimped an outdoor ethernet cable for his extender node that he is mounting at his new location close to Omni. Realized that we don't have anymore shielded EZ-RJ45 plugs for CAT6 and trying to fit the thicker copper through CAT5 plugs is a pain. Ordered CAT6 version. Talked about renaming the peoplesopen.net ssid for 5 GHz to peoplesopen.net-5ghz since some operating systems seem to prefer 2.4 and e.g. network-manager's UI seems to not have any way to connect to the 5 Ghz peoplesopen.net at all! Getting more clients on 5 GHz might be good or bad. Made the switch for Omni at least since those routers are all hard-wired. Talked about setting up a GSM network at Omni using the new donated SDR gear. -- marc/juul

Help needed to represent the mesh network at the Omni fair on Friday! There's a fair at the omni on Friday from 10am to 5pm. https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/the-omni-commons-fair/ https://www.facebook.com/events/1019941721421475/ I'm going to set up a table at around 8am but I need to head to work so I won't be back until 4pm or so. On the table I'm going to put: An explanation of the mesh network and some details on why it's great. A Western Digital N600 router with a sign that says "This is a mesh node!" A sign-up sheet for people who want to host a node at their home. If you are free on Friday from 10-5PM and can talk about the mesh network please let me know! -Will

Exterior lighting has been repaired and we will add more as finances permit. After long discussions about privacy and security concerns, we have developed a security camera system that ensures footage can only be used when necessary for increasing the safety of our community. You will soon see security cameras mounted to observe key areas of the exterior and sidewalk. The cypress trees have been pruned back, but there is discussion about problems with them, such as providing hiding places for both people and objects, and the mess they leave on the sidewalk. *Join!* Are you connected to an aligned group looking for occasional or permanent space? We have space available and are actively seeking new member collectives to rent it out! Apply to be a member collective at* omnicommons.org/join <http://omnicommons.org/join> !* *Participate!* We’re always welcoming new volunteers to participate in various working groups - in particular finance, building & maintenance, commons (event management), and fundraising.

Mesh meeting update

by Marc Juul

Last night we had two new folk at the mesh meeting :) Both of them went home with freshly configured home nodes, and one of them with a picostation extender! redconfetti joined the mesh project and signed up to attempt an implementation of the ubus-https-forwarder that we've needed for a while: https://github.com/sudomesh/ubus-https-forwarder We're beginning to organize a mesh 4-5 hour weekend workshop which will include both hands-on node mounting experience and basic mesh troubleshooting command-line foo! We have 4-5 experienced people willing to act as instructors. I'll send out an email soon to decide on the date. -- marc/juul

I was totally one of those people who showed up once and never again ... yet. I added a couple potential nodes to that mapping application. One of those also has a Lake Merrit view (from a hill on the lakeshore side). I also have a few routers on hand that I bought from that woot deal.

Tonight at sudo room: Soldering emergency power cables!

by Marc Juul

At tonight's meet/hacknight we'll be making prototypes of emergency power cables so people can power their mesh nodes in a disaster situation. The idea is to make cheap, long, foolproof cables + instructions that make it simple to power mesh nodes from any 12 vdc source. The thinking behind this is that the U.S. is full of cars and the most medium-term power supply in the days/weeks after a disaster will be car batteries. A while back we ordered components for this from china and now that they've arrived we can make some cables and test how they work and whether we need better under-voltage/over-voltage protection. See you at 7:30 pm! -- marc/juul
