[Mesh] 1-2 day planning retreat

Hi all, We discussed the idea of doing a 1-2 day retreat that's aside from the weekly gathering of just core members, since it's hard to focus at sudoroom. Also it seems that we are at a moment when we might want to make a few decisions. We can decide the agenda together in advance. Here's a poll to help find a day: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/mesh_pseudo_retreat/ Some things it'd be nice to get clarity on, for example: -Should the network first offer an uplink or first serve a local networking need? -Community needs assessment to try to see if we can initially deploy a network towards some end? -How can we better clarify how people's open is different from other mesh projects on the website? -What kind of project management would help move the firmware along? -We could even invite Preston from OTI to talk to us about what worked/what didn't in Commotion deployments These questions have come up in conversations at the last couple mesh meetings. I've also been chatting with folks around Oakland who gave me some initial ideas about what could go on a network. Clarity here will also help w/ grant possibilities. We can do it at one of our places or reserve a room at omni. It doesn't have to be an all day thing, and it should be interesting. I'll do some research in advance. Hope y'all are all alright. yours, a -- 0x54FC570B
