hey meshers -
As I was troubleshooting with Daniel and Arthur during BYOI office hours
yesterday, we managed to get about 20 nodes back online. It reminded me
that we sorely need more folks that can, and are willing to, help out
with day-to-day network operations.
This why I'd like to volunteer to participate in another node whisperer
session (see https://github.com/sudomesh/node-whisperer-program)
provided there's enough interest.
The idea is that a node whisperer to-be will explain how PON works,
setup some nodes and show how commonly used tools (ip addr, tcpdump,
traceroute, dig, ip route, babeld and tunneldigger) can be used to
troubleshoot network connections and figure out who's meshing with what.
if this person feels sufficiently confident, then they'll get increased
access to our existing network.
*Please let me know if you are interested to help out with day-to-day
network operations (aka node whispering) and if you are interested in
joining tomorrow at 9p at Omni following the sudomesh meeting.* With a
reasonable amount of folks (>5) we should be able to have enough
collective knowledge/eyes to keep our network healthy without having to
rely on one or two individuals.

Hey mesh peoples,
This is your weekly reminder to add any topics you'd like to be discussed
to the SudoMesh meeting agenda before 7:30p (tonight!) Tuesday 6 March:
https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/notes
>> Add your item where it says "Example Discussion Item" or "Example
Proposal"
If you do add something, we expect you to come to the meeting to give some
context and lead that discussion.
See y'all tonight!

Hello meshers!
The next Build Your Own Internet office hours* is this Sunday March 4th from
1pm to late afternoon in SudoRoom <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Directions>.
Last time, we learned to flash nodes (even on windows!), answered questions
about *what* is SudoMesh/PeoplesOpen (and *who* and *how* and *why*), and
at the end of the afternoon went on 3 simultaneous node mounts. 👷🛠📡
This week's theme is *Communication.* Possible projects include:
- creating a "hooray we mounted a node at your house!" letter/exit survey
with links to useful resources (to give to node-owners at the end of a
mount)
- sending e-mails to folks who have expressed interest in getting a node at
their home (there's a backlog)
- proof-reading/editing existing grant applications and writing new ones
- finalizing our newsletter template and business plan
- adding more questions and answers to our node whisperer educational
materials and labs
Should be fun! As usual, this is also a good time to show up / ask
questions / figure out if and how you want to get involved.

** What are BYOI office hours? It serves two purposes:*
*1. A jumping off point for people interested helping with a scheduled
Sunday node mount, but who are not able to attend a Tuesday night meeting
or are not "in the know."*
*2. A friendly, non-confrontational time for new people to get oriented to
the project or just ask general questions about networking, the internet,
and their service provider.*
*We may also use the time to hold training sessions on a topic of choice,
conduct outreach to potential node locations, address finances and
purchasing, or tackle any other outstanding issues.*
