Hi all,
I was cleaning out a bunch stuff recently and found a box of WD routers. I
have 5 N600s and 3 N750s.
If anyone wants them I'm happy to drop them off somewhere.

The meeting will be held on Jit.si at this link:
https://meet.jit.si/sudomesh2020 (reminder that Jitsi works better in
Chrome or other non-Firefox browsers). If we have technical difficulties
with Jitsi, I'll send over a Zoom link we can use.

directors are, based on our organizational Bylaws
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o_6MSmXCAKUzko4lrOafVrNBRfUEmT_A/view>:

*Please reply to this thread or privately if you do not wish to serve on
the Board. *
*Current board members are (based on last annual meeting minutes) *
* Marc Juul
* Mai Sutton
* Ben Elam
* Lesley Bell
* Benny Lichter
* Ben Goering
* Sierk Beij
* Robb Benson
* Blake Griffith
* Jenny Ryan
* Jake Watters
Maybe members?
* Seth Carolina
* Benny Lichtner
* Daniel Alvarez
* Jehan Tremback
You may nominate yourselves or others in addition to my nominations for
directors, as well as officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer).
Officers may also be re-elected. Current officers are Mai Sutton
(President), ??? (Secretary), and Jenny Ryan (Treasurer).
I'd also like to discuss whether it makes sense for Sudo Mesh to continue
to stay on as an Omni Collective member. We'd need to designate a new
delegate to go to the meetings as I'll be stepping down from the board and
will likely discontinue attending regular Omni delegates meetings starting
in Jan 2021.
Hope you can make it! It'll be nice to see all your faces, even remotely!
Mai

I would be interested in this too! Also it looks like they're on Aliexpress
too, I could chip in on a small order. Ken I might be near you, I'll follow
up off list.
Is this a good source for them?

Hey there,
I wanted to propose we have our next board meeting in two Tuesdays from
tonight on *October 6 @ 7pm*.
We need to examine who sits on the board and accept any nominations for new
members, and deal with some of those bureaucratic things. But also we can
use it as a chance to re-connect and re-align.
I was gonna just call it but thought I should check in first.
*Anyone have any conflicts/objections to holding it at the above proposed
date?*
Hope everyone's healthy, both physically and mentally. Things are hella
overwhelming these days.
best,
Mai

If anyone has a disaster radio board they'd like to lend me, I'd like to experiment with a long-haul LORA link from here (coastside) across the bay to Oakland.

dear sudo mesh,
i hope this email finds you well and staying safe given the various crises.
my name is chris hamamoto. i'm an assistant professor in graphic design at
california college of the arts. i'm writing to see if you may be willing to
speak with my interactive 2 class, which i am co-teaching with another
instructor mathew kneebone, about your project and mesh networks?
in the class some of our hopes are to demystify how the internet works,
present alternatives to the corporate internet, and engage with our bay
area community. as such we are very excited about sudo mesh! we're excited
about your project, and would love to learn more about it and share it with
the students.
classes are all online this semester, and we're thinking the meeting would
take place on zoom, or i could meet you in a suitable environment (with
appropriate protective gear) to broadcast some sort of discussion or demo.
we're very open to ideas if you have them!
thank you so much for considering this request, and please let me know what
you think. if it may be a good way for me to engage, i could come to the
weekly meetup tomorrow. or i am happy to talk on a call, via email, some
other method... just let me know what you prefer.
thank you so much, and hope to hear from you soon!
chris
