== 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 â€” 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 :/

=== 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-mesh-github-repos
* jenny - grant schooled the sudowrt firmware repo
* benny + juul + grant debugged how to get meshing working with air os extender nodes
* for more on private network and traffic priortization see these issues:
** https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/131
** https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/2

Just found this https://imgur.com/B0jzM9h ???!

=== Node Mounts & Outreach ===
Node Mounts Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/DtzngKaM/49e1c21fc9da199fcdeceb8623b5117a/node-mounts
* 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.

=== Communications & Events ===
Comms Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/f3ugMPNU/94033ee6c2cef93fc1b1637b727c902a/sudo-mesh-communications // Events Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/Y3XfDK85/2b6fcb4fa92788609692a53a96fb4614/peoples-open-events
* benny - working with jorrit on tcp/ip/udp postcards
** jenny - yar did a cool workshop in sudoroom like that
* jenny - if you used the non profit dev summit code let me know!
* jenny - nico from librerouter is being sponsored to come to the non profit dev summit and wants to work on libre router stuff on the 17th!
* jenny - internet governance summit in paris! mai may already be there. some funding available if we want to send someone.
* jenny - someone from the netherlands pinged the rocketchat today about starting a peoples open network in florida!
* null - i met someone who has good contacts who seemed interested in peoples open! he might spread the word
* seth sent out newsletter! woo! jenny + grant showed him how to use mailchimp

=== Internal Logistics / Finance ===
Internal Logistics & Bureaucracy Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/LzVQlW3X/1bb8bd543c8633688175365d2554c2c2/internal-logistics-bureaucracy-brainstorms
* 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
