=Attendees=<br />
*Deekoo, Marc, Xavier, Maxb, Jenny, Garrett, Pete<br />
<br />
=Updates=<br />
*We can get a bank account with internet archive credit union. They sign their letters ", the internet". Jenny and Matt are going to work on it<br />
*Jenny and Marc worked on a rad flyer to hand out with new nodes<br />
*Nic is interested in working on infographics / graphic design over the break<br />
*Marc: Node configurator now auto-assigns IP addresses and creates stickers to be put on the PoE injector<br />
**DNS server discovery<br />
**Working on traffic control tonight (designating what amount of bandwidth to be shared) - we need to demonstrate that switching to the mesh as their only AP will allow for greater control<br />
**Tried for many hours to get the Meraki routers working, to no avail :( <br />
***Will be happy to show someone else how to work with the routers and which files control the watchdog.<br />
*Deekoo: Redesigning the build system so it will download and compile seperately, archives of our code, ??<br />
*Xavier is excited about connecting the mesh to community, and he wants to help in the social outreach.<br />
*Node database is using leveldb (node-database). Marc is excited about working on/building scalable decentralized apps<br />
<br />
=ToDos Tonight=<br />
*Marc: Node configurator & traffic control<br />
*Max: Setting up node configurator on build server<br />
*Deekoo: Build/Download separation<br />
*Jenny/Pete: Work on pamphlet / outreach<br />
<br />
=Notes=<br />
*We should have a forum!<br />
*Reach out to orgs that receive lots of hardware donations with requests for: antennae<br />
*Need to consider the problem of scaling - largest batman-adv mesh according to Elektra has been ~300 nodes<br />
*Node configurator compacts all components unique to the node into an IPK file that's then installed on the router<br />
*IPV6 spherical routing (??)<br />
*Node database does IP assignment by checking that no other IPs have that range<br />
*Forkable CNC (command and control)<br />
<br />

*https://github.com/libremap - "a scalable, global and decentralized router database and map visualization for community networks, such as guifi, Altermundi, FunkFeuer, ninux, freifunk, Commotion..."<br />
*Notes on Board of Directors: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroomboard<br />
* Financial report for setting up Wikimedia DC as a non-profit (useful for comparison?) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_US-DC/Bootstrapping_grant/Report<br />
=Action Items=<br />
*Calls to Action on the website<br />
*Email those who've posted nodes on the map (sign them up to an announce list)<br />
*Make sure traffic control works and is integrated with GUI</div>Tunabananas
