Hello meshers!
The next Build Your Own Internet
office hours* is this Sunday March 4th from
1pm to late afternoon in
SudoRoom.
Last time, we learned to flash nodes (even on windows!), answered questions about what is SudoMesh/PeoplesOpen (and who and how and why), and at the end of the afternoon went on 3 simultaneous node mounts. 👷🛠📡
This week's theme is Communication. Possible projects include:
- creating a "hooray we mounted a node at your house!" letter/exit survey with links to useful resources (to give to node-owners at the end of a mount)
- sending e-mails to folks who have expressed interest in getting a node at their home (there's a backlog)
- proof-reading/editing existing grant applications and writing new ones
- finalizing our newsletter template and business plan
- adding more questions and answers to our node whisperer educational materials and labs
Should be fun! As usual, this is also a good time to show up / ask questions / figure out if and how you want to get involved.

* What are BYOI office hours?
It serves two purposes:
1. A jumping off point for people interested helping with a scheduled Sunday node mount, but who are not able to attend a Tuesday night meeting or are not "in the know."
2. A friendly, non-confrontational time for new people to get oriented to the project or just ask general questions about networking, the internet, and their service provider.
We may also use the time to hold training sessions on a topic of choice, conduct outreach to potential node locations, address finances and purchasing, or tackle any other outstanding issues.
