Agreed! It was great to meet some new folks, practice my crimping skills, take apart and solder some routers. Would like to get more practice flashing - will these not be flashed with sudowrt?

Since I'll be away this weekend, I'll see about borrowing Jake's long drill and finishing the basement run tomorrow :)

Hi Sudo meshers,

I had a great time helping install the Ethernet with you and wanted to thank everyone for such a fun day today. I learned a lot I didn't know, and I'm always gratefull for to learn from those opportunities.

I really appreciated the chance to follow the installation with you, and learning the openwrt flashing and soldering the tp-link boards, really expanded my technological horizons. Special thanks to Max and Mark for showing me the ins and outs of cabling/routers/re-configuring wrt power supplies, etc.!


Thanks to everyone for coming and doing so much work!

I'm calling it a night. We had six routers and five long ethernet cables to run to cover a 22,000 square foot building!

Here's what we accomplished today:

* Completed: Two ballroom ethernet cable runs: One at each end of ballroom.
* Completed: One ethernet cable run to far end of disco room (except crimping)
* Completed: One ethernet cable run to Counter Culture Labs
* In progress: One ethernet cable run to basement (need long drill)
* In progress: One ethernet cable run to La Commune (unsure how far it got)
* Two routers mounted on walls: Disco room and Counter Culture Labs
* All six routers modified for power over ethernet
* All six routers flashed with OpenWRT

Yay! Maybe next Sunday we can finish  the remaining tasks:

* Finish last two cable runs
* Mount last four routers
* Configure routers (we might work on this Thursday)
