Hey meshers,
Come check out this event where I'll be on a panel called "The Future of
the Internet: Protocols vs. Platforms" in SOMA on Thurs Feb 20 6:30pm. It's
free!
I'll be joined by Mike Masnick (Techdirt), Cory Doctorow, Ashley Tyson
(Web3 Foundation). The Lincoln Network, the organization putting it on, is
a tech-libertarian non-profit think tank so there might be some
conservative folks there. Wanted more of you to show up and support and
help me make those other audience members uncomfortable! lulz.
Here's the link to register:

Hope to see some of you there!
Mai

Hey Meshers,
In case you don't know: Omni urgently needs help fixing up the building ahead of a visit from the insurance company on Thursday Feb 13. If Omni gets dropped from its insurance policy, it's likely that we might lose the building... D:
SOOoo. There's a big list of tasks that need doing and so I'm rallying a group of us to help knock those tasks out! Come by for any amount of time and help Sudo Mesh show up for Omni.
WHAT: Let's fix up Omni!
WHEN: 1-7pm Sunday Feb 9
WHERE: Omni, obvs
HOW: Wear clothes you can get dirty in, or even paint a building in.
If you can't find us, feel free to ping me on Rocketchat: https://peoplesopen.net/chat/ (https://peoplesopen.net/chat/)
My handle on there is @iamai
Hope you can make it!
Mai
I plan to come :)

Subject: [ORCA] In case you're interested in the Bay area mesh thing...
To:
This Friday, January 17th, 7 PM at the San Francisco Veterans Administration
Building 7:
Kiley KD8DRX & Greg W2GMD will present the San Francisco Wireless Emergency
Mesh project.
We'll cover the basics of "How we got here?", "Why we're building this?",
"Who will use it?" and most importantly "Why is crimping ethernet jacks so
triggering for Greg?"
This presentation is open to all interested parties, regardless of SF Radio
Club membership.
Bonus, we'll have hardware available for anyone interested in connecting to
the mesh, and we'll be on hand to help you flash & configure your hardware
at
our Flash Party afterwards.
Directions and more information on the SFRC meeting can be found

Hey there,
*Just in case* there was someone who was planning to attend the Sudo Mesh meeting tonight (Dec 24) or Dec 31, we are officially cancelling those meetings due to the holidays. Of course people are welcome to show up and still hack on stuff but just know that all the regulars say there will not be there. :P
Hope y'all have a relaxing and warm holidays!
cheers,
Mai
hey folks,
made a troubleshooting section on the walkthrough, please add other cases
of issues and how you resolved them!
Just got this n600 flashed that had had the rest button fall off. Back on
there and working fine now.

Hi friends,
Call for Proposals is open for Allied Media Conference 2020.
I can't say enough nice things about what a great event this is, and
2020 will be a unique year, as they took a year off to recharge and
rethink everything about the event.
The proposal info is here:

>From what I understand, Western Digital has dropped their line of My Net
products, and instead is supporting My Cloud devices. Those will be really
fun to hack on later on as they get old and cheap (especially for
distributed networking projects, no?) WD has already stopped offering
support for the My Net products and have definitely stopped selling them.
So eventually we will also run out of n600 and n750 stock. Plus, the price
has gone up to near-MSRP for the n750:

Following the suggestion from Guifi.net visitors years ago -- to build our
network to provide a good service experience, we should use new hardware
(when we can) to get performance boosts from improvements to radio,
power-management, and standards technologies. It seems like we may want to
find the next router to support, and I'm curious what folks have looked at
lately!
It seems the search may be for affordable, good quality,
dual-band/dual-radio routers that are openwrt-compatible. Plus, devices
that support new technologies like 802.11ac (Wave 2?) and 10/100/1000 MBPS
wan/lan ports (more easily take advantage of fiber services from Sonic.net
/ Cruzio / etc). Interestingly, we may also find affordable options from
brands like MikroTik that seem to have more US distribution than before if
I recall correctly.
Here's my short list from quick research, lmk what you think:
- Netgear R6220

- TP-Link Archer C7

- MikroTik hAP ac lite https://mikrotik.com/product/RB952Ui-5ac2nD
