=== Special Meeting ===
We had a special meeting tonight because a lot of folks were out of town, and half the
attendees were here or the first time. Most of the notes below were compiled after the
fact.
=== Agenda ===
* Introductions
* Chatting
=== Introductions ===
Introduce yourself: Name, What brings you here
* haven - live in san ramon
* tammy (haven's mom) - just moved here from crowell, texas. moved out here by choice,
because political climate is better, weather is better. we've been here 2 months.
looking for school for son haven. lots of gruntwork at school in san ramon, so left. im a
person who says to much at the first meeting. haven, tell them how you found sudomesh in
the last few weeks!
* haven - through a reddit post i think--during the bad hurricanes. someone posted a link
to sudomesh and it seemed interesting.
* tammy - same kind of thing would happen to us when huge storms would come to crowell. by
the way -- sierk was very nice and welcoming!
* null - i work for comcast evil corp. i used to have trouble with public speaking, was
home-schooled until 6th grade--can totally understand not being comfortable talking in
front of people. i do all kinds of technological things
* jon - lived in wisconsin and oakland. brought a document about a recent ordinance in SF
preventing landlords of apartment complexes from making deals with ISPs and getting
kickbacks. interested in organizing a similar but better ordinance in Oakland.
** null - San Francisco Ordinance for prohibiting owners of multiple occupancy buildings
from interfering with the choice of communications services -

* nancy - here because jon asked me to come :)
* eve: now retired, was Systems Admin for Berkeley under the Department of Energy
* lesley: also grew up in a small conservative town in texas. A generalist, does contracts
as a programmer for javascript and python. the internet was my portal to other ways of
thinking when i was growing up.
* benny: Grew up in new mexico, living in Oakland/San Francisco for about 6 years, working
mostly as a software engineer, always liked the way people correspond and communicate
within the sudomesh group. didn't like working at a place where making a profitable
company was all people cared about. contrasts heavily with the kind of conversation
we're having now :)
* question from jon: let's say the internet goes down, how do I communicate with
someone else on the mesh?
** some discussion about ip addresses
* lesley invites haven to hang out at javascript night in sudo
* everyone is invited to come to sunday office hours and more tuesday meetings
* lots more chatting happened, but we didn't take notes ;-)
