Hi all,
Marc and I are currently tap-tap-tapping away on a grant application
for $100/250/500k due tomorrow at midnight. We have the honor of being
fiscally sponsored for this application by Media Alliance, an Oakland
nonprofit supporting citizen media, advocacy and youth technology
education. They are awesome!
I've been diving deep back into the Oakland broadband feasibility
study published in 2009: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Oakland#Research
In pursuit of more recent information on the state of Oakland
organizations addressing the digital divide, and Internet access more
generally, here's what I've been reading:
*
http://www.ebbroadband.org/PDF/Cities_-_graded/Alameda_County_Oakland_Grade…
*
http://www.insidebayarea.com/opinion/ci_25010367/must-make-investment-make-…

*
http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/02/get-fast-oakland-east-bay-broadband-summit-…
^ This one even mentions the Oakland North article on Sudo Mesh, with
the accompanying phrase "has largely been met with political
gridlock." I've written to Susan Mernit asking for a correction to the
article and updating her on where we're actually at - and offering to
write an article on our project.
I'm going to reach out to Kevin at the East Bay Broadband Consortium,
and set up a meeting to talk about how we could work together.
Your feedback, links to other articles/studies, appreciated.
I'll be documenting the local stuff here:

peoplesopen.net is telling folks at Sudoroom to use 10.0.99.1 for DNS,
but that nameserver is not working. IP connectivity works but regular
users can't resolve names. Is this a nameserver that mesh controls?
Any way we can help? :)
Hi!
Anyone interested? Probably I could connect.

Hey all,
First version of the network diagram for technical documentation. Hopefully
folks can use a derivative of this to create other graphic diagrams and
drawings for paper manuals, online instructions, etc.
The font is Anaheim, it's open source and online.

Thanks to this hack, we should be able to use a noisebridge-donated lot of ~200 sparky routers for https://peoplesopen.net/
Cheers!

Subject: [Mesh] So, about those Meraki Sparky boards
Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2014 18:34
A little drinking at Noisebridge and some poking from JC got me
thinking about the Sparky boards. So I came up to Sudo and worked with
Marc to figure it out.
The TL;DR version: It's an AR2317 and you have a watchdog timer, but
it doesn't actually reset the unit. It just posts an interrupt. It
turns out GPIO6 is the "pat to stop it resetting" line.
So, the details:
I first did "help" at the redboot prompt. I found "bdshow", which is
the "Atheros board info."

.. hm. Watchdog GPIO pin 6? What's that?
After manually checking out the watchdog registers via 'x', we
discovered that it would count down to 0 and not reset.
So, hm. Maybe the GPIO 6 wire is actually the right thing to pat. And
yes, the board doesn't reset when you pat GPIO 6.

Meshers,
I've just launched a meetup group for anyone in the Los Angeles area who
wants to get involved in our local mesh movement. People of all experience
levels and skill sets are welcome.
Join us: http://meetup.com/lamesh and forward this to anyone who might be
interested!
Best,
Jeremy
Hey folks,
I'm going to be testing a hypothesis tonight:
Instead of coming to the meeting I'm going to try to spend that time
working on the mesh project I've assigned myself. I haven't been that
good at getting my work done while at sudo, so I'm going to give this
approach a shot. I really want to get this exit node captive portal
thing DONE!
I'll be on IRC and I'll keep an eye on the etherpad.
Have a good one,
Max
Hey everyone,
Thought some of you might be interested in this conference call regarding
community owned ISPs, happening this Thursday. The speakers have mostly
worked with municipally owned networks, but I think a lot of the lessons
would transfer to a consumer-coop ISP. Here are details:
http://www.communitymatters.org/event/community-broadband-networks
Been a pleasure getting to know the crew in SudoRoom, and look forward to
seeing where things are at when I'm back this summer. And hopefully I'll
find people excited about getting People's Open Net up and running in North
Carolina by then. Keep on Meshing!
Jacob

Hey guys,
Anyone who's driving to Austin next weekend-- I would love to join if/when
you pass through LA. If the car is already full, I may be able to get a
bigger one that we can use.
Please let me know so I can plan things out, thanks.
Hi all,
Sending these off tomorrow; this is a last call to look over our bylaws
before we send them in to acquire our bank account:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws
Some key points:
* We must give written notice for any board meetings at least 10 days in
advance
* Board members may vote by proxy through electronic communications
* Any officer may resign at any time by providing written notice to the
Board.
* Board members shall be chosen annually, we confirm as of March 1. So new
Board members must be decided upon before 1 March 2015. Our current Board:
MaxB, ChrisJ, Marc, Jenny, Matt, Jeremy, Luis, Jake, Lilia
Our directors are currently me (Jenny) as president, Marc (juul) as
secretary, and Matt as treasurer.
We also need to create an annual report, which is the bulk of the work of
Board members/directors. I didn't go over this part very closely, so let me
know if something looks overly complicated:
==15.1. Annual Report==
The board shall cause an annual report to be sent to the members and
directors within 120 days after the end of the corporation's fiscal year.
That report shall contain the following information, in appropriate detail:
:(a) The assets and liabilities, including the trust funds, of the
corporation as of the end of the fiscal year;
:(b) The principal changes in assets and liabilities, including trust funds;
:(c) The corporation's revenue or receipts, both unrestricted and
restricted to particular purposes;
:(d) The corporation's expenses or disbursements for both general and
restricted purposes;
:(e) Any information required by Section 14.1.c. of these bylaws; and
:(f) An independent accountants' report or, if none, the certificate of an
authorized officer of the corporation that such statements were prepared
without audit from the corporation's books and records.
This requirement of an annual report shall not apply if the corporation
receives less than $25,000 in gross receipts during the fiscal year,
provided, however, that the information specified above for inclusion in an
annual report must be furnished annually to all directors and to any member
who requests it in writing. If the board approves, the corporation may send
the report and any accompanying material sent pursuant to this section by
electronic transmission.
==15.2. Annual Statement of Certain Transactions and Indemnifications==
As part of the annual report to all members, or as a separate document if
no annual report is issued, the corporation shall, within 120 days after
the end of the corporation's fiscal year, annually prepare and mail,
deliver, or send by electronic transmission to each member and furnish to
each director a statement of any transaction or indemnification of the
following kind:
:(a) Any transaction
::(i) in which the corporation, or its parent or subsidiary, was a party,
::(ii) in which an "interested person" had a direct or indirect material
financial interest, and
::(iii) which involved more than $50,000 or was one of several transactions
with the same interested person involving, in the aggregate, more than
$50,000. For this purpose, an "interested person" is either
:::(1) any director or officer of the corporation, its parent or subsidiary
(but mere common directorship shall not be considered such an interest); or
:::(2) any holder of more than 10 percent of the voting power of the
corporation, its parent, or its subsidiary. The statement shall include a
brief description of the transaction, the names of interested persons
involved, their relationship to the corporation, the nature of their
interest in the transaction and, if practicable, the amount of that
interest, provided that if the transaction was with a partnership in which
the interested person is a partner, only the interest of the partnership
need be stated.
:(b) Any indemnifications or advances aggregating more than $10,000 paid
during the fiscal year to any officer or director of the corporation under
Article 11 of these bylaws, unless that indemnification has already been
approved by the members under Corporations Code section 5238(e)(2).

Plz read, about the free public wi-fi just rolled out on Market St in SF:
http://www.sfweekly.com/2014-01-22/news/wi-fi-mid-market-smartphones-theft/
One thing we should focus on in our imminent rollout is supporting the
creation of public terminals and computer labs in community spaces; getting
cohesive neighborhoods on board with sharing their connectivity with each
other; and emphasizing the creation and support of safe public spaces for
accessing and learning about technology (eg libraries, schools,
hackerspaces) over the assumption that the technology will enable access
(much in the way we emphasize end-user security and cryptoparties over the
assumption that the network is secure in and of itself).
