== Updates & Reportbacks ==
* remote-juul asks: Is there an email thread with Paxio folk that I'm not on? I
haven't emailed them yet. I couldn't find the thread when searching yesterday but
also my internet connection was crap so I might have missed it. Can someone forward it to
me then I will email today.
** remote-mai: I have a thread with them — in which they stopped responding a few months
ago when I followed up. I'll forward you that email (which includes Tim Pozar) and you
can cc me on the new thread we start with them re: our LOS to them
* remote-juul asks: Are we sure the AirFiber we mounted on our building is the
international version? It probably should be.
* benny: I don't think we are sure. I'll try to confirm. I hope it says somewhere
in the UI?
* juul: If the country is restricted to u.s. only then thats not the int version
* benny: okay--there should be a country selection dropdown or something?
* lesley: yep, it's locked onto US or ...I think the gui is a little different?
I'm trying to look right now, assuming I'm connected to the correct ip. Nevermind,
Grant just reminded me I can't connect with my machine without a cable. I guess the
only way to connect is to climb up on the roof and plug in.
* grant: we can get into to from the cage, IP/pw info should be in trello, will debug
later (I remember being a dropdown for country)
* lesley: Nope, it's the US version :/

=== Node Mounts & Outreach ===
Node Mounts Trello:
https://trello.com/invite/b/DtzngKaM/49e1c21fc9da199fcdeceb8623b5117a/node-…
* grant - reed brothers node is now working! also setup the omni antenna atop the reed
bros roof. 52 down, 15 up from omni connection. do we want to limit it?
** jenny - might be good to discuss in sudoroom
** scott - can you give priority to the private network traffic?
** grant - effective way to handle that would be for someone to get a better home router
that can prioritize their traffic (as opposed to it being a peoples open network issue).
we can't prioritize someones home internet traffic.
** scott - i thought that was the point of the private SSID, so we can prioritize that
over the public SSID
* grant: can't ping extender port from just anywhere - but if you plug it into public
port - in this case, port 2, that gives you an ip address and then you can ping the
extender node and get into its interface.

=== Internal Logistics / Finance ===
Internal Logistics & Bureaucracy Trello:
https://trello.com/invite/b/LzVQlW3X/1bb8bd543c8633688175365d2554c2c2/inter…
* jenny - just ordered the omnis mentioned earlier this meeting.
* jenny- sierk submitted request for another digital ocean droplet to separate dev and
prod envs
* jenny - we have a home depot gift card
* jenny - we really need an insurance policy -- to do that we need to update our business
plan to show that we have the money to pay for an insurance policy
** moritz - you need an insurance policy? we don't need one at freifunk.
*** moritz: people just connect, we receive info that this or that device is linked to
some other device, and then we map it but we assume no liability for those connections.
**** used to be much more complicated - self-assigned IP addresses, wiki account, etc; -
now is much more simple that's how a lot of places got connected - even 2000 nodes in
an area or an entirely interconnected downtown - they just popped up - no liability, but
it works! public internet in the middle of town. lots of people involved in municipal
governance
