Report back from last tuesday's software working group meeting:

- We fixed peoplesopen.net/notes (by deleting and recreating the pad) https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/38
  - deleting the /notes pad took over an hour, presumably because it had > 100,000 revisions

- We cleaned up several old PRs and made issues for follow-up work. (Details at the bottom of this e-mail for those interested in details.)

- bengo taught me about travis.yml files and what they can do

- we discussed the various columns in https://github.com/orgs/sudomesh/projects/2 and when to move an item from one column to another

- we had fun!

Oh--one major breakthrough that did not happen at the working group: paidforby made sudowrt-firmware builds more than 1000% faster! https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/137. Holy cow!! Thanks for digging into docker and saving us all hours & hours of navel-gazing and hair-pulling 🐴👷🐩

Another breakthrough: juul figured out how to get debian installed on these dirt cheap pogoplugs! https://github.com/Juul/pogoplug-pro-debian. Looks very promising for hosting mesh services that require lots of storage!

As always, if you want to get involved with the sudomesh software and don't know where to start, just say hello in the #software channel of peoplesopen.net/chat. There's plenty to work on, from HTML/CSS to node/js to bash scripts and network configurations.

Hello!

I'm going to meet with bengo tomorrow (Tuesday) at sudo room around 2pm to start triaging some of our open github issues.

Please join if you are free and interested! No experience necessary.

I'll plan to send an update email at the end of our sesh summarizing what went down. One of my goals is to end up with a larger group of "good first issues."

You can also join us remotely in the #software channel of peoplesopen.net/chat.
