I like, 'what is your final form?' although that's an extra hard question :p == announcements == * mai: have an extra ticket for devsummit if someone wants to go - If so let me know via RC * ben: in touch with Rudy from Monkeybrains about getting donated bandwidth, will text him tomorrow. === Meeting Roles === * Facilitator/s: ben eenblam * Stacktaker: benny * Notetaker/s: jenny, mai, swth ** URL of this pad: https://peoplesopen.net/notes == Check in on previous action items == Check previous meeting minutes at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Minutes and past action items below: * e-mail yar about tcp activities (benny) ** done! * Reach out to insurance broker recommended by Jesse - Jehan ** jenny - I'll pick it back up and rope in Jehan, too * e-mail some spaces about richmond tower link (benny) ** didn't get to it ** seth is getting good at Google Earth; might be cool if we could *show* places that can see it * talk to marc about richmond tower server hardware (benny) ** juul says we don't have anything fancy to put there, but we do have some old servers we could use ** question for juul: what would be the ideal hardware we would want to put there? then: let's propose that to jonah and ask if he has anything similar--last time he came here, he said he probably had some hardware he would like to donate to us. in general jonah sounds super willing to help and collaborate--I think we should take him up on his energy in that regard. e.g. if we tell him at a high level what we want to happen there (e.g. run an exitnode) he might have good ideas. could have a breakout group to discuss our vision? ** benny: what would do with a server there? *** scott: should we be able to have users share space on it? *** benny: maybe we should just use this hardware for things in which the location is more important *** eenblam: we should at least get an exitnode on there and random project hosting *** juul: what if we had scuttlebutt & DAT on ithttps://www.reddit.com/r/all/ * create text for byoi eventbrite (mai) ** haven't done it yet (~_~) going to be gone for a lot of November, would like to hand it off ** benny - I can pick it up == Updates & Reportbacks == === Bugs/Technical === Priority bugs we need help with are located at: http://peoplesopen.net/helpwanted - For a high-level overview of recent Github activity, see the Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/r9l5ouQ4/3b2eecd83bb9e7a57a339cf1ee038288/sudo-… * benny: grant made lots of progress replacing psychz exitnode with less expensive digital ocean droplet. currently blocked by: ** blocker: need to repoint disaster.radio to a new DO ip address. Who owns the DNS entry? Juul? === Node Mounts & Outreach === Node Mounts Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/DtzngKaM/49e1c21fc9da199fcdeceb8623b5117a/node-… * benny: seth researched LOS to richmond from urban ore * Follow up with Paxio? * Archive mount ** ben: let's ask for rackspace ** juul: Would be really cool to peer with the archive, especially as a backup repo of content in the event of Internet going down *** robb: hell ya! ** dedicating software working group this Thursday to further discussion - 5pm Thursday ** clear LOS from tower to urban ore based on google earth estimates ** discussed reconnecting w/ peef * request for internets at Village's new site - Edes & Elmhurst ** juul: was going to write a proposal for Calyx subscription - $500/year, put it all in a box and secure it really well and have a mobile source of bandwidth w/ solar panel & battery! *** widespread support for this idea * Lesley - will test hardware for Jason. Maybe schedule weekend after next? Also, maybe we should upgrade currently scheduled hardware - he will soon have a fiber gigabit connection, so maybe get new equipment with higher throughput? In whihc case, installation would be delayed ** ben - e.g. a rocket for Benvenue. @lesley feel free to hit me up if you want to coordinate *** lesley - sure! I was thinking this weekend or next. I need to confirm with Jason though. *** ben - I'm out of town this weekend, but could work on gear next week and start hitting Benvenue folks up this week. === Communications & Events === Comms Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/f3ugMPNU/94033ee6c2cef93fc1b1637b727c902a/sudo-… // Events Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/Y3XfDK85/2b6fcb4fa92788609692a53a96fb4614/peopl… * seth-tshirts ** woo! * jenny - aaron swartz hackathon - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aaron-swartz-day-international-hackathon-eveni… * trip to visit grant's puppet show on wednesday eve! https://www.drivewayfollies.com/ 3854 greenwood ave === Internal Logistics / Finance === Internal Logistics & Bureaucracy Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/LzVQlW3X/1bb8bd543c8633688175365d2554c2c2/inter… * jenny - deadline for disaster.radio grant work is coming up on Friday - probably going to be hackin on it thurs night == Next Sunday == === Node Mount === We try to arrange a rooftop node mount every Sunday afternoon.
