Hello all, My name is Mario and I represent a plant biology group at Counter Culture Labs at the Omni Commons. At the June 13 sudoroom meeting, we proposed a collaboration to build a 'garden widget' using the disaster radio technology with which you have been experimenting. Our hope is that you can use this collaboration to build a robust field test for the technology and we can benefit from your expertise. An example of a closely related existing technology is the EDEN system, https://edyn.com, which uses soil moisture and an Internet connection to control irrigation. We would like to give home gardeners access to an automatic garden environment log that would include specifically light intensity and period, and temperature and moisture measurement for air and soil. Please contact me if you have any questions, we plan to have a prototype hack night Tuesday June 20th at the 8pm sudoroom meeting at the Omni Commons if you are interested in learning more and/or participating in the project. -Mario

Re: [Mesh] [omni-discuss] Omni at Temescal Street Fair this Sunday?

by Jenny Ryan

Adding the mesh list, as this would be a great opportunity for neighborhood outreach, and we could set up some of the hardware and promote our next BYOI (build your own internet) workshop on July 1st. Unfortunately, Marc and I can't help to coordinate as we're out of town until the 27th, but I believe Grant said he'd be down, and maybe others would be interested? I like the 'take stuff apart' idea, Patrik :) Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

blog post invited for Internet Society web site

by Eve Edelson

The post about the Wired inquiry reminds me: The SF Bay chapter of the Internet Society has a web site -- sfbayisoc.org -- and guest blog posts are invited. Would someone like to write a piece about the project? I'm sure one of the longer-term members/founders of sudoroom would do a better, more succinct job than me. it would be a way of getting word out to our members. If anyone's interested, let me know.

Meeting Minutes - 2 May 2017

by Jenny Ryan

Recorded for posterity at: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/02_May_2017 *people's open network hacknight - 02 May 2017* = intros = * jehan: I'm the guy who brings the five-pack. I've been working on the email server and sorta made some progress with some help from marc. running for @peoplesopen.network. ** also researching ipv4/ipv6 for fun *** marc: going down rabbit holes... both email & ipv6 are headaches * daniel: what about spam filters etc? ** jehan: using mail-in-a-box that has a bunch of spam filter stuff * grant: working on the firmware, kinda done. need to do more testing on the extender node firmware. also messing around with the esp286's a bunch. programming in C and learning a lot * scott: no updates * bullitt: playing with ssb (secure scuttlebutt) on raspis and such. not working for me. last weekend got on a roof and helped with installing a physical node. * jenny: there was $400 in our paypal account that paypal was gonna steal due to inactivity but saved it. ~$169 for officers and directors insurance * lesley: i am lesley and this past week helped install a roofnode. substack helped me get a patchwork pub server running on the sudo room sever (the one hosted in sudo room and accessible from the internet) * eve: only useful thing i've done this week is get an adapter so i can help daniel with ?. playing with arduino's. wanna make it flash pretty lights * jeff: also trying to set up a patchwork pi thing. interested in roof mounting * jonas: i'm not sure what you do. i have interest in mesh networking and have been using esp8266 for two years. a year ago i wrote a lisp interpreter for it. i really think mesh networking would be interested. i want to use the esp to build a computer keyboard from scratch using wood keys and microswitches. encoding is done by diodes. trying to build a circuit board. i want to build a wifi home computer from an ESP. * daniel: i'm helping with little things here and there. tonight I'm planning to continue working on the equipment we got donated last week which is to update the wireless controller and update all the APs via the controller. I was mentioning to jenny earlier today that with this donation we have the opportunity to install APs all over the building (we have 28). ** jehan: think it's a great idea, no problem w/ proprietary software they're just APs * juul: worked on DisasterRadio a bit this week. LoRa radios connected to esp8266. can't use two serial ports simultaneously. made a telnet console and implemented a web console. now you can console in and as soon as you open the telnet or web console it talks to the chip. dhcp working, dns for the most part. also a web server serving up a web app. so the plumbing is working! now just to deploy a small chat and/or map app. ** jehan: doesn't it have a super long range? *** juul: urban range around 3 miles. low bandwidth, very low power. 900 mhz, small packet size. Can use it for mapping out resources in a disaster scenario. ** jonas: ** markus: part of omni welcoming group. attending hardware hacknight. * Marc: $900-1500/month for gigabit connection from LMI, can install hardware on the roof ** jehan: lot of money off the bat. network not in a very advanced state, can get more practice building out network around the omni ** lesley: cumulatively that's $12-18K/yr, what about instead investing in a server that would host some of the most commonly visited sites on the network *** marc: wouldn't cost any money, we have stacks of unused servers ** jehan: more you buy the less you pay, economically logical * main link would be gigabit, spread it out at like 300mbps connections. can spread it out enough that we can get enough people to donate monthly. there'd be a lag, maybe 6 months, where we'd be paying out of pocket ** jeff: how many people to make it economical? like 20 people? ** jehan: lots of interest but not that much geographical ** promising leads other than LMI: BART and Laney College = agenda = == entity structure == * straw poll +1s for OOC 501c3: Eve, Lesley, Grant, Jorrit * reservations: juul * jenny will ask Jesse this week and report back at next meeting = breakout groups = * patchwork: lesley/bullitt/jenny/jefdaj * gate: daniel/eve * debug front door computer: lesley/jenny/jake * ESP boards and related: juul/jonas/grant/scott = action items = * ping spaghettinight mailing list [jenny] * contact IT person at Peralta Colleges re: Laney node - Daniel will investigate * get a panorama from LMI - ?? * email Jesse re: taking over OOC or submitting a 1023EZ app [jenny] * send out login instruction for email server [jehan] = misc link dump = * Mapping businesses by neighborhood to reach out to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oAehFc60w-hS4rhk0ZZhqb_IDqNsb8TopPo… -- Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Re: [Mesh] IPV6 to the exit node

by Jake

>> So let me get this straight- home nodes advertise their /26, which is how >> the network knows how to get return traffic back to any given client? >> >> Wouldn't giving clients ipv6 addresses result in the problems with many of >> the ipv4 only protocols that were mentioned at the start of the thread? >> >> > Yes if we give them only IPv6 addresses but we want them to have both. but if the mesh relied on IPV6 for everything, then couldn't the home nodes do IPV4 masquerading to IPV6 and they wouldn't need their own /26 because you could have identical IPV4 addresses on different home nodes that way? meaning, the IPV4 address given by DHCP by a home node is only for that node to talk to that client, and everything goes out over IPV6 from node to node and to the exit node (where it does reverse masquerading to the internet for IPV4 traffic) does this make sense? i know it would be a lot of work but maybe it's a good path forward.. and it simplifies some things, for example no more need to coordinate 100./26 IPV4 subnets between home nodes... you could use the home node's MAC address for its IPV6 subnet. -jake

The IRREGULARS and "The Book of broken promises"

by Marc Juul

This popped up on my radar: http://irregulators.org/ "The IRREGULATORS is an independent consortium of retired and semi-retired telecom experts, analysts, policy wonks, forensic auditors, and lawyers who are former senior staffers from the FCC, state advocate and Attorneys General Office experts and lawyers, as well as former telco consultants. Members of the group have been working together, in different configurations, since 1999." They're giving away a book that claims to contradict a fake alternate history being promulgated by the FCC *:*http://irregulators.org/bookbrokenpromises/ -- marc/juul

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Another House Clean-Out/Omni Beautification

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello folks, I meant to bring it up during our tonight's meeting, but because I am not sure that I can make it I may as well forward the email to our list. Thanks! D ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Marcus Zamani* <lifenowreborn(a)gmail.com> Date: Monday, May 1, 2017 Subject: [omni-discuss] Another House Clean-Out/Omni Beautification To: discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org, commons <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org Omni - As a member of the Welcoming WG and lover of clean, beautiful, organized spaces I am organizing another Omni Sale/Giveaway. This time I am going to market the day as a “Pay What You Can Sale”. My intent is to get as much stuff out by giving it away and people can pay whatever they can in a donation jar on their way out. I’m thinking of having it 3 - 4 weeks from now. That said, it is imperative if you have stuff in Omni common areas that you pick it up WITHIN the next THREE WEEKS, otherwise you are agreeing to donate the item(s) to Omni. If your collective has stuff in common areas and wants to keep it but you can’t move it to its final home before the sale, you must clearly label it. All personal items must be removed, there is no personal storage at the Omni. DO NOT bring stuff in for this sale!!! The last giveaway back in August was a great success and effectively cleaned-out the basement. I am shooting to see the basement emptied out again and ready for a tenant. Contact me if you have any questions or want to help, Marcus -- Daniel Signal: 415.336.9143 <https://whispersystems.org/> WhatsApp: 415.336.9143 <https://www.whatsapp.com/download/> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
