...or really, 'these past two months in Oakland mesh'... I am now creating a weekly event in my calendar to ensure these get out on a more regular basis. I'm also going to start reminding people of their action items individually ;) *Announcements:* - As of last week, we've officially launched<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog#Developer_Launch.21>vers… 0.1.0 of the mesh firmware, a.k.a. Snow Crash! - We're currently distributing nodes to *developers* for a 1-2 month period of testing and debugging :) Please reply to this thread if you've gotten your node running! - We consensed that it is not allowed for our chair, secretary, treasurer or board of directors to publicly use their titles. *Current Action Items*: - Create postcard flyer for general outreach [Alex] - Add to and edit our bylaws <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws>[everyone!] - Network topology diagram and documentation [Matt] - Fake captive portal [Max, Luis] - Get the code working on the new Atheros chipsets (our 5GHz nodes) [Marc] - Set up bank account [Jenny] - Many more things to do! Find them here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/ToDos *Outstanding Questions: * - Investigate ham folks and their equipment - maybe they are getting rid of towers etc - Investigate becoming a Ubiquiti reseller [What we do know: As router resellers, we'd be responsible for replacing them when they break.] - Can we keep the same IP yet switch to different access points? *Wiki:* *[NOTE: You can make this process easier for me by adding a descriptive comment when creating or updating a wiki page!]* - Tunabananas updated Mesh/Blog <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog>with two new posts. - Tunabananas updated Mesh <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh> w/ new announcement and intro tweaks - Juul updated Mesh/Firmware <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Firmware>with new ToDos!
