It looks like the fiscal year for sudo mesh ends in November instead of
December. I'm inducing this from scant information available but will try
to verify with the IRS tomorrow (their phone lines are pretty jammed
today). This means that, for the tax forms that we file the deadline is
15th of April instead of 15th of May. Again, I will try to verify this.
This means that we filed taxes LATE last year. I think this probably
doesn't matter given that we (probably) didn't owe anything, but will try
to verify.
We're also overdue for our board meeting, I believe the last one was
January 30th:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/30_January_2014
We should officially adopt our bylaws as well:

Let's talk about it this Thursday.

Hello there,
I have a proposal for updates to the website, which is already great.
I'd like to work with a few of y'all to wordsmith the language and post
it online.
-In the how to help section, I recommend that we create a form [like
Google maybe, but ewww] for people who are interested in working with us.
-Also, is there already a form for people to add a node to the map to
offer up thier roof, or can anyone do that? I think it'd be great to
have the node map on the website.
If anyone is down to work on the website, please let me know soon and we
can hammer this out. I think I've got a good jumping off point and if
someone can edit, and the group approve, we can throw some fresh
language and information up there. I'd like to do this by the end of
next week, if possible, so the grant-makers will see a more detailed
website.
What do y'all think? I'll be back in town for the next meeting. Someone
mentioned putting it all on github. I have to admit I'm not sure how
that'd work, but I'm down. I've always just passed libreoffice docs.
My best,
April

Hi there,
Is there a way to get a video file of the People's Open.net video to
upload this afternoon for a grant application? Sorry for the short
notice - any help appreciated. A .mov or mp4 file would work
Thanks,
April

Hey just checking in to see what time folks are thinking about being at the
omni to do some node mounting. I'm maybe hoping to be elsewhere between
~3:30-4:30, but otherwise I'm fairly free.
Also - I'm not really sure how long this will take. I can do a bunch of the
flashing and configuring, but it seems like a good deal of the work would
be placement and mounting.
What are other people thinking?
Hey y'all
I was just tapped on the shoulder about a nice funding opportunity from
a foundation. The deadline is Feb 16, and I think we could go for it.
Is anyone around to help me get this together? I am in Boston, so can't
come to the meeting this week, but drop me a line if you're available to
help proof writing, plus-one website tweaks, etc.
We can collaborate online. Of course, nothing will be submitted or
edited without group approval :]
Thanks,
April

All,
Got the okay from Omni's finances working group to order the LMI
internets subscription. I submitted it to the Omni budget and can order
it tomorrow on my Omni card.
$130/month for 80/25 - not 160 as we'd originally thought - but we're
currently paying the same for about a quarter of the bandwidth through
Sonic.

Marc,
Thanks for getting me set up on Sunday!
Here are some photos from the mode mounting:
http://imgur.com/RjnbURehttp://imgur.com/1eyZHYBhttp://imgur.com/fTtHOVDhttp://imgur.com/UMWF7is
Feel free to throw them on Twitter or the website or where ever.
The SSID is "Porchfest4" and it is pointing at the StorQuest building. Let
me know if anyone sees it.
I can't make node mounting next Sunday, but I'm usually free during the
week.
Let me know when the firmware is ready and I'll flash the node.
-Will
