* Alex P, Max B, Marc Juul, Lawrence(sp?), Jake (interloper), daniel

= Updates =
* Clef Install:
** https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog#Downtown_Oakland_Access_Point
** Speeds are pretty good within line of sight, but having an issue with android authenticating even in places where signal is good.
* Zayo:
** Want way way way too much money for transport from data center to the Omni
* Fake Captive Portal
** Working, but needs debugging.
** Android is having issues
** Needs polish
* Uplink Plans
* RTT fixes for babeld configs
* HackTheLeft

** http://openoakland.uservoice.com/forums/340653-citycamp-oakland2016/suggestions/11540028-community-owned-and-operated-internet-network

= Priorities =
* Remote Updates
* Configuration
* New installs?

= Documentation =
* Better docs for "intro to home node" for tech and non-tech folks (small that can fit behind router?)
* Juul is interested in:
** Taking on graphics
** Video of walkthroughs, etc.
* Cleaning up of wiki/making sure things are current
* Map!
** Maxb promises that he's going to update nodeshot
** I really like this one: https://github.com/plumpudding/meshviewer
** https://github.com/ffnord/meshviewer
** marketing vs topology

= Hardware Watchdog =
* Juul is working on it
** Wants to be able to save data about last crash somewhere
** just a question of the right way to do it

= Purchasing Gear from Yahel =
* 2 Air Fiber 5s
* Mimosa link of some type
* Half off the air fibers
* Hopefully some freebies

= Uplink Plans =
* Cogent:
** Transit provider (connection to the internet) and colocation (you can put servers in racks there)
** quoted $1k for 1gbps w/ $1k for roof access (we can get the price down for bandwidth, but need to talk to building manager directly about roof pricing)
** Downtown Oakland (1624 Franklin St, Oakland, CA)
* Hurricane Electric
** Transit provider (connection to the internet) and colocation
** $500 for 1gbps w/ $250 for roof access
** Very far away - Fremont, CA

= Remote Updates =
* 1. sysupgrade vs mtd
* 2. signing images
* 3. Preserving user config/admin changes (bandwidth sharing, wifi password, etc)
* 4. What happens if we don't have root on devices (remote update daemon)
* 5. Extending makenode to create tarball that can be pased to sysupgrade
* 6. Extending makenode to query routers for existing node data (ip address, other mesh data)

= DNS =
* p2p dns
** https://github.com/mwarning/KadNode
* juul suggested some kind of dyndns with a user available registration page

= Action Items =
* Juul is gonna reach out to the BART guy and ask for a meeting w/ IT
* Maxb is gonna update nodeshot (even though it's stupid)
* Maxb is gonna talk to Level3 about transit and rooftop access
** emailed Level3 and XO
** Need to remember to follow up soon if no word back!
* Maxb is gonna turn off android captive portal - Done
* Maxb is gonna talk to yahel and buy antennas
* Juul will create accounts for mesh folk on the omni owncloud.

A place we should check if they allow us to place a node, they are at the plaza:
* Laurel Books
* Luan Stauss, owner of Laurel Book Store (on the news: http://blog.sfgate.com/bookmarks/2014/10/24/laurel-book-store-opens-in-downtown-oakland/
* 1423 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612
* Phone:(510) 452-9232
* laurelbookstore.com
** maxb is gonna get in contact with laurel books

to keep in mind, daniel knows someone that has an office on 13 and franklin 4th floor ( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Franklin+St+%26+13th+St,+Oakland,+CA+94612/@37.8031538,-122.2725729,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808f80b405f0731b:0x3455eec5972fb89b ) that may allow us to have a repeater. it seems that there is no internet access at that office.
