Thank you both for your replies to my original message:
Subject: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
I didn't see your responses because I had the mesh list turned off, but now
that i've seen them i'm really grateful! I will look into the links you sent.
I want to mention that you both have "digest mode" enabled, so you're getting a
single email per day of the mesh traffic. That works great for lists with more
than one message per day, but when you reply, you should edit the subject so
it's not something like:
Subject: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 96, Issue 2
for those wondering what i'm talking about, search the archives for the above
subject here:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2021-February/date.html
the right way to manually reply to a subject is to put "Re: " before the
original subject, for example:
Re: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
thanks again! I will look through what you both sent.

Hello Jake,
There is previous literature:
- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.4218/etrij.10.0109.0695
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0379711206000142
for using image processing to detect wildfires. This could definitely be
implemented alongside with physical sensors to create an early detection
system.

Hi there,
Is this project still maintained? Trying to install some of the available
firmwares on newer hardware (TPLINk Archer a7) and nothing seems to be
working.
I was able to successfully install openWRT but was curious if you had tips
or ways to install the sudomesh dependencies on this?
Thanks,
- Rob C.
I don't know if this is the right list for disaster.radio but I want to involve
everyone who might be interested.
In California we have a serious forest fire issue. It would be nice to go back
in time and not burn a bunch of carbon, but that ship has sailed and while
things might be okay on a more geological timescale, I personally like
breathing and my friends do too.
So we need a forest fire detection system that can pinpoint forest fires as
soon as they start (whether because of a flicked cigarette or a lightning
strike or an ember floating on the wind from a campfire) so that we have a hope
of putting them out before they grow out of control.
Presently, by the time a fire is detected, it's often large enough that humans
can't do anything about it except spend tons of money on trying to protect the
houses of people who live out in the woods. That might be nice for the people
who live there but it doesn't do anything for the people who have to breathe
smoke for an entire season, and of course the carbon impacts on weather
patterns are a big factor as well.
So i'm calling for a group of us to partner with state agencies for funding and
information, and figure out how out mesh networking and hardware/software
skills can be put to use to try to improve the situation. I'm picturing
something like Disaster Radio nodes installed as a mesh in the woods, with
smoke detection and wind direction/speed sensors, and maybe humidity and
temperature as well. They will flow that data upstream to larger nodes that
can link back to forest service buildings or towers, where that data can be
monitored for signs that a fire is starting.
Please loop in people who you think might be interested in making this happen.
I really think it would need at least one lead person for grantwriting and
organizing; hardware and software skills are useless without the means to make
things happen, as well as the legitimacy required to interface with agencies
like the forest services that will actually be using this system to fight
fires.

Hi all,
I was cleaning out a bunch stuff recently and found a box of WD routers. I
have 5 N600s and 3 N750s.
If anyone wants them I'm happy to drop them off somewhere.

Hey there,
We'll be holding the Sudo Mesh annual board meeting tonight* 20 October
2020 from 7:30-9pm. *Agenda and notes will be taken here:
https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/2020annualmtg
The meeting will be held on Jit.si at this link:
https://meet.jit.si/sudomesh2020 (reminder that Jitsi works better in
Chrome or other non-Firefox browsers). If we have technical difficulties
with Jitsi, I'll send over a Zoom link we can use.
Nominations for officers and directors are open. Requirements of the
directors are, based on our organizational Bylaws
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o_6MSmXCAKUzko4lrOafVrNBRfUEmT_A/view>:

>
> (a) Perform any and all duties imposed on them collectively or
> individually by law, by the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation,
> or by these Bylaws;

*Please reply to this thread or privately if you do not wish to serve on
the Board. *
*Current board members are (based on last annual meeting minutes) *

* Ben Goering
* Sierk Beij
* Robb Benson
* Blake Griffith
* Jenny Ryan
* Jake Watters
Maybe members?
* Seth Carolina

You may nominate yourselves or others in addition to my nominations for
directors, as well as officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer).
Officers may also be re-elected. Current officers are Mai Sutton
(President), ??? (Secretary), and Jenny Ryan (Treasurer).
I'd also like to discuss whether it makes sense for Sudo Mesh to continue
to stay on as an Omni Collective member. We'd need to designate a new
delegate to go to the meetings as I'll be stepping down from the board and
will likely discontinue attending regular Omni delegates meetings starting
in Jan 2021.
Hope you can make it! It'll be nice to see all your faces, even remotely!
Mai
