For hardware hack night tonight I will be bringing some of these new
fangled ESP8266 boards, you may have heard of them.
https://hackaday.com/tag/esp8266/
*Why are these things so cool?*
Welp, they're a 80mhz CPU, with at least 512k flash memory, built in Wifi,
are flashed with a serial connection and they cost about $4-5.
For the last week I've been working on sudo-clock (
http://github.com/morganrallen/sudo-clock) with the ESP8266 at its core.
Robb was surprised to find out that not only are these Wifi modules that
can be used with a separate micro, but can have custom firmware loaded on
them.
Soo.... yeah. If you are interesting in checking these nifty things out
come hack with us tonight! I'll have 2-3 devices available, bring a
USB->serial adapter if you have one but I should have enough.
Check out the wiki here for info on getting the software toolchain setup.
It is fairly straight forward if the instruction in the Toolchain section
are followed.

Hi all - an update to mention I'm reconnecting with Richmond based
non-profit Building Blocks for Kids to discuss best ways to integrate
People's Open Network with the community out here. Per our discussions a
few weeks ago, the plan is to show Ralph from Internet Archive that
SudoMesh is worth collaborating with so he will open up access to their
free wifi tower to spread via mesh instead of limiting it to just the
few repeaters they have set up already.
My goals will be to:
-find out where the few repeaters are now and how we can hook
into/extend their access
-find the best ways to outreach to this area for a group of people
willing and able to maintain a test deployment (and obv bring them by
SudoRoom for a mesh meeting, etc)
I plan to meet with Teresa from their Digital access team next week at
BBK offices in Richmond.
If anyone wants to join, let me know. Perhaps it would be nice to bring
some nodes to show?
Finally, sorry for being MIA at meetings the past couple weeks - life
things getting in the way causing various stages of overwhelmed head
space triggering reclusive tendencies. I *will* be back... hopefully
with some folks in Richmond interested in testing/maintaining a mesh out
here.
Peace
-Paige

I won't bore you with the bureaucratic details and the imminent necessity
of filing for tax-exempt status so we don't have to pay #1K+ in business
taxes, but we need to have a 2015 board meeting.
As a reminder, the following are those who are on our Board of Directors:
* MaxB
* ChrisJ
* Marc
* Jenny
* Matt
* Jeremy

If you wish to be removed from the board, or you would like to be on the
board, please reply to this thread.
Let me know if you can make it in person or attend remotely on the pad.
Yours in bureaucracy-wrangling,

Hello Eric,
Thanks for reaching out with the donation.
I imagine some Sudoers may be interested.
It sounds like a good idea for hands on teaching tool.
If you don't mind, can you please let us know the following:
0- How many servers are they?

1- Can you please provide the Servers' hardware configuration
(Brand, Model, CPU, RAM)?

2- Do the Servers include their rails?

everything sits on top of one another)
3- What kind of rack type is it 2 or 4 post? Threaded or square

4- Hard disks: --Speed: 5400RPM? 7200RPM? 15000RPM? --Size: 3.5?
2.5? --Type: IDEE? SATA? SSD? etc.
i>> don't even know what this is ... but the configuration
offers a high availability, fault tolerance, parallel access and
raw data access
Many thanks in advance!

Hello friends of Sudoroom, I am Sergio one member of the hacklab
r00tHouse from Bolivia. I send you this mail to comment you that we
started working on a project that is a mesh network. We want to make a
network that communicates our city (it is not a big city) and we started
working on it. We decided to use Batman-adv as the routing protocol and
OpenWRT and some weeks ago looking for some documentation we found your
wiki and looked that you decided to stop using Batman-adv because of
some issues. We are concerned of which were those issues. I don't know
if you can tell us your experiences with Batman-adv and the reasons you
stopped using it and why you decided to go with Babel routing protocol.
What batman-adv version were you using? We are using OpenWRT Attitude
Adjustment with the 2012 batman-adv version.
Saludos desde Bolivia

* siavash - saw it on the calendar, background in telecommunications, gsm,
transmission related, worked with ericsson in iraq/iran
* captain morgan - programmer, likes linux, has a node at his house
* jenny - really happy to not have any responsibilities to do with anything
else in the building tonight, working on community stuff, outreach and
documentation
* mo bala
=battlemesh report-back=
*
https://sudoroom.org/weaving-together-a-network-of-networks-report-from-bat…
* video of talks coming online here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxfh-2aOR5hZUjxJLQ2CIHw
Ryan, Paige and Jenny did a bunch of interviews with representatives of as
many community networks as they could find. Their goal was to get the
origin story of each of the networks, Challenges that they faced and advice
for people who were just starting a network.
Musti has helped create a hackerspace in Maribor called KreatorLab and is
focusing on creating a set of standards for documenting open hardware.
There's a guy called Dave Taht in Los Gatos who works with the IETF who
works on standards for the internet. He developed a bunch of the
bufferbloat stuff in cerowrt. Jenny recommends his presentations.
=Networking Simulation=
If someone wants to implement a babeld implementation for ns3 (network
simulator):
https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.23/doxygen/modules.html
=where did our stuff go? (theft)=
* Bunch of PoE injectors, ethernet cables, and hard drives taken by this
guy named 'Manny' or Manual who will say he has an agreement with Jake to
take our e-waste
=community outreach & communications=
* Jehan made a diagram to help developers get oriented
* Need to update Nic's brochure and print a bunch
* Would be rad to design something like 'Open Wifi by People's Open
Network' - window stickers for houses, laser-cut signs for public areas
like community gardens
=update on fcc ruling=
* Do peruse http://savewifi.org !
* Folks on the mailing list are putting together a Comment template that
will be pushed by the EFF
** Join the list:
http://lists.prplfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fcc
* Comment deadline is Oct. 9th. Would be good to post something as sudomesh
/ People's Open Network. Marc started something here:
https://pad.riseup.net/p/fccthing
=bureaucracy situation=
* We're filing a 3500 CA nonprofit tax exemption form to demonstrate we
shouldn't pay taxes
* Also our annual Statement of Information is due November. Jenny finished
it but we still need to pay the $20 fee.
=action items=
* Set up beta node at LiveLabs & test accessibility of documentation [jenny]
* Pay Statement of Information fee [Jenny/Marc]
* Send 3500 form [Jenny]
* Send svg of developer orientation packet or upload to website [Jehan]
* Configure and mount the remainder of omni's routers [Marc/Morgan]
