=== Introductions ===
Introduce yourself: Name; Preferred Pronoun; Icebreaker Response; BRIEF Announcements
* Icebreaker question: do you like icebreaker questions?
* Benny - he/him - omw, running late. I like *good* ice breaker activities. I think it might be fun to do icebreakers with the person next to you instead of with the whole group.
* Lesley - probably like 10-20% of the time, I learn really interesting things about people. The other times I wonder why we're doing this.
* scott - my initial reaction is maybe I don't like them, but they can be fun. I feel like we need to do more about pooling good ones. Maybe instead of favorites we could say "topics you feel enthusiastic about." "Favorite" always messes me up.
* steven - No strong opinion?
* jorrit - I think icebreakers are kinda nice, when there's a lot of ice to be broken.
* null - I like icebreakers the candy. My grandma bought candies.
* robb - I think they're good, especially if there's a lot of people and you want to start off light.
* seth - he/they - icebreakers are cool
** posted a kml file of the path from here to paxio
* ben - he/they - can be pretty cool, give us some nice stories to tell about each other excuse to be a little less business for a few minutes
** Benny - I wonder if there's a way to be less business all the time.
** building some labs - tunneldigger lab is easier, local mesh setups, http://github.com/sudomesh/tunneldigger-lab
*** In the works: http://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode
*** Upcoming: http://github.com/sudomesh/babeld-lab
* jenny - she/her - Vote for Disaster.Radio in the ISOC Chapterthon popularity contest! Must be an ISOC member: https://www.internetsociety.org/beyond-the-net/chapterthon/2018/projects/
* juul - he/him - like em. don't like "what's your favorite this or that?"p
* Eve - yeah, sure I guess

== Check in on previous action items ==
Check previous meeting minutes at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Minutes and past action items below:
* Email Jonah re: what kind of routing configuration we plan to have for our Archive mount (benny?)
** Done! Jonah replied today:
*** via Jonah today: "I can give you 4U and up to 5A@120V based on how things are wired right now (note that the existing rack is round-hole mount, but I can give you a shelf if needed for the short term), but I'll be rearranging some equipment in the space soon and we could potentially expand that. We do not currently have a UPS for the space these devices will be in (there is a UPS backup for the power feed to the radio tower, but it's not good for more than 10-15min at load, so will get you through one of our occasional power blips but not a true outage) -- if you want to start with just the routing equipment and it's fed off of low-voltage DC, these devices are surprisingly good for minimal routing installations: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000001zrPYAAY "
* Eventbrite event (Benny)
