==Agenda==<br />
*review last meeting's action items<br />
*planning for retreat<br />
*node installation updates<br />
*firmware updates<br />
*bureaucracy: taxes and 501c3<br />
=Notes=<br />
*let's explore different types of poles for antenna mounting. when we run out of the telescoping poles, we'll try fiberglass.<br />
*juul completed the mount at nick's warehouse in west oakland (nanostation m5 on telescoping flag pole mounted from second story)<br />
** We need a better crimper for ethernet cables: Let's order one that works for the "through hole" RJ45 plugs and the actual plugs (the grounded kind)<br />
** We need a stand for the outdoor cable roll so we can actually unroll the cable (otherwise it gets really twisty). Let's build or order one.<br />
*Remember to consult ham tower location stuff<br />
*We will soon have 5 nodes up in West Oakland that can be used as a test network<br />
*Let's get the nice through-hole RJ45 plugs and the nice crimpers for them<br />
* Gigabit (shared) office space $375/mo on Craigslist. In general, looking for res/commercial gigabit installations would be more practical through CL or similar things.<br />
*Let's try to find a topographical map of the east bay.<br />
