Cool Benny!
I'm super exicted about this idea also. I feel pretty comfortable explaining home nodes and whispering to exit nodes, but I'd like to get better at learning how to use/debugc/interpret extender node behavior. I can be around before the meeting this afternoon, ping me if you'd like to meetup and do some preemptive node wrangling.

Hey, Jorrit. Learning how to interpret home/exit node dreams and (inter)facial expressions sounds great!

I am game, but I can't make it to the meeting Tonite :-/ I might be able to arrive in time for the breakout? Around 9? I can ping the rocket signal and see where y'all are at.

Alternatively, I'm available most of today *before* the meeting if people want to get whispering early.

Thanks for offering to share these vital knowledges!

hey y'all:

After our infamous weeks long exit node outage (see https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/8) , I am hoping to get more folks to explain to others how nodes (home/exit) work and keep 'em running. Now is a good time because juul is pretty busy and I'll be out of the country until early March.

This is why I've added the following proposal for tomorrows meeting:

"The Node Explainer Program (NEP, better names proposal encouraged: node whisperer, node operator?) -  Node explainers explain how (exit/home) nodes work and keep them from misbehaving by troubleshooting, preparing bug fixes, applying patches, implementing new features and upgrading software. To become a node explainer, you should be able to show someone how to build your own internet by configuring one, (ideally two) home node(s) (https://peoplesopen.net/walkthrough ) to use a custom, self-created exitnode (https://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode ). This also includes showing how babeld and tunneldigger work together by using (and improving!) https://github.com/sudomesh/babeld-lab and https://github.com/sudomesh/tunneldigger-lab on the home and exit nodes using tools like ip route , ip addr, tcpdump . "

Hoping to help get 2-3 explainers (the three bens + ... ?) up and running before Thursday, and I am volunteering for a node explainer break-out on Tuesday after the general sudomesh meeting. If you are thinking of joining, please bring a laptop with ethernet port, a home node and access to a digital ocean account. Please holler if you have questions or just want to share that this is a ridiculous idea.

thx,
-jorrit
