== Updates & Reportbacks ==
=== 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
* 1) Public & private network traffic route through same IP - open, needs a patch
* 2) Give priority to non-peoplesopen traffic - rather than % bandwidth, prioritize private traffic over public traffic (eg, when not home, all bandwidth can be allocated to the public network)
** sierk: via jorrit - percentage set by the tunnel - -> how to allocate dynamically on the tunneldigger
* 4) netflix traffic blocked
* 5) disable debug logging - benny working on this, patching
* 8) tunnelbroker fails intermittently - exitnode issues. jorrit fixed a lot of this. new exit node up & running
* 17) add more exit nodes - grant wrote a patch for this. needs to be tested thoroughly and pushed from server -> nodes on the network
** Bengo - made a script that spins up exit nodes. anyone can use this script to build an exit nodes:
* 18) Define remote node patch procedure - plz join the conversation - https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/18
** related to #20 - define who has remote node access
* bengo made https://gitlab.ops.bengo.is/ben/mesh-network#digitalocean-exitnode - an easy script to spin up exitnodes in digitalocean droplets

* mai - already reported back on jeff's and dianes
* benny: doug was super nice, had a big ladder. we were 5-6 people.

*** jenny - from precision, $70, but can find them on ebay for $35
**** eve would like to buy us a pair
** benny - do we have a "hey you had a mount!" card to give to people after a node mount,
*** name of folks who participated in the mount, node owners's manual, certificate of participation?, privacy/access notes, what is the status of the mount (is everything up and running? anything need fixing? could tie into our own internal logs about which deployments need more work)
