Hi mesh team!
We are just about ready to start deploying the first 20 nodes! \o/
This will be an experimental deployment to test the firmware, so best if
the owners of these nodes are fairly savvy so as to troubleshoot :)
If you want to be part of the beta network, it would be excellent if you
could analyze the spectrum availability around you to see what's free and
what's busy. Some tools for doing so are listed here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Software_tools
Freifunk recommends using Horst <http://br1.einfach.org/tech/horst/>,
available for Linux and Mac.
Looking forward to tomorrow ~!~

Ubiquiti just announced their Nanobeam M series.
They have four models:
16 dBi and 19 dBi models that appear to have panel antennas, similar to
Nanostation M.
22 dBi and 25 dBi models with parabolic antennas that may be replacements
for the Nanobridge M series.
They all have:
* 64 MB ram.
* 8 MB flash.
* Atheros MIPS 74KC, 560 MHz CPU
* 6 watt or 8 watt power consumption depending on model
The all have a new wall/roof/pole-mountable swiveling ball socket design
that allows mounting at any angle. It also has improved weatherproofing.

Announcement video here:

They also announced AirFiber 5 Ghz, which is a non-standard-compliant 1
Gbps, full duplex, 100 km, 50 Mhz point to point system. The interesting
thing about this system is the price: $1000 per unit.
They also announced that they're putting tunable active RF filters of their
own design in front of the Atheros chips on next year's products, which
makes them much better at ignoring interference. They are already shipping
this in their UniFi AP Outdoor+, but that product is 2.4 ghz only.

Hi!
Anybody going? It seems there is a "mobile, wireless and networking"
topic as well.

To: noise(a)ischool.berkeley.edu
Folks who are interested in connecting with great work happening in the
nonprofit sphere in the Bay should check out the Nonprofit Dev Summit put
on by Aspiration Tech on Nov 18-20.
Techies and nonprofits come together for 3 days at Preservation Park in
Oakland (15 minutes from here on BART) to hash out everything related to
technology needs of the nonprofit sector (past attendees have included
OpenStreetMap people, the founder of Change.org, and many others...). I've
attended for a number of years and it's always well-organized, very
valuable, and fun, and I learn a ton.
Think networking, summer internships, job possibilities, etc. Happy to
answer any questions about it.
There's a sliding scale for registration, so name your price. Aspiration
Tech just asks that folks commit to attending for a full day.
Read a bit about it: http://aspirationtech.org/ and/or register here:

We've yet to add details for October - adding an 'exit node' and backup
services. Marc, can you add those details?
Tomorrow we should go over the draft of our
Bylaws<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws>and push to incorporate
within two weeks - from there we can set up a
proper bank account, transfer the current standing funds from my & Marc's
account to it, and set up a donation portal at sudomesh.org.
Feel free to edit the Bylaws <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws> now to
expedite this process!
Cheers,
Jenny
