* During last office hours (21 Oct 2018), Grant and Jorrit tried to migrate current
build.sudomesh.org (and associated) to a new server so that we can run a secondary exit
node on it (see
https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/28)
(
https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/28)) . To complete this, access to domain name
registrar (namecheap?) and digital ocean are needed. First is protected with MFA, for
second the password seems out of date. Ask - please provide access .
** jenny - i updated password for DO and added grant, benny, and jorrit as users to
namecheap. so should be done.

* jehan - recently installed a network in medellin colombia! unfortunately not yet online
because of issues with backhaul. ISP is flaky :-/ but that's normal. Didn't make
the backhaul deal far enough ahead of time. It is ~40 nodes! Ubiquity rocket dishes from a
school to a hacker center, where they will have fiber. At the school there are sector
antennas that face adjacent hillside. Taught folks how to crimp outdoor ethernet. You can
just run a cable across a bunch of roofs and nobody will have a problem with it! Looking
for other options while waiting for ISP...

** jenny: suggest pinging MedellinLibre if they still exist. Contact is Fernando Giraldo,
* scouted the berkeley marina on sunday. LOS to richmond tower might work, though
there's a park to the north of the yacht and sailing clubs that may be a barrier - we
should try anyway. jenny has contacts to both yacht and sailing clubs

* benny - ragga got in touch on rocketchat about setting up mesh in Anna Regina, Guyana.
they're wondering if anyone knows about cheap broadband providers in South America?
** inquiry on rocketchat from @ragga wanting to building a network in Guyana, chat
continues in #learning channel
** juan says Telefonica is the biggest provider there, Claro resells them. juan bought
bandwidth from telefonica and built routes from those locations (in bigger cities) to
places they were not interested in reaching.
** Satellite connections are expensive and slow
