<br />
= Attendees = <br />
*Chris J, Jenny, Max, Juul, Luis, Adrian, Christie, Thomas<br />
<br />
= New Action Items =<br />
* Add your potential node to the map! - http://meshmap.sudoroom.org<br />
* Get batman-adv running at Hearth node, mesh with LiveLabs node<br />
* Next reportback on an active mesh - Jenny<br />
* Find some tall rooftops for Adrian to test TDMA point-to-multipoint links <br />
* Research resilient ethernet cable <br />
* Tune the OpenWRT settings on the new nodes for RTS / CTS and ACK timing <br />
* Brainstorm on name for the mesh!<br />
<br />
= Old Action Items =<br />
* Decide on name (some suggested options further down in the notes)<br />
* Research 501(c)x statuses: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Tax_Structure_Research<br />
* Put together a brochure / pamphlet <br />
* Website (contingent on name)<br />
* Splash page design<br />
* Glossary of terms (eg Fresnel zone, Hidden Node problem, etc) on the wiki - MaxB began: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Terms<br />
<br />
= Announcements = <br />
* Marc & Jenny set up the first two nodes at their home rooftops<br />
<br />
= Report-backs = <br />
* Marc reporting on Seattle Meshnet:<br />
** They are using cjdns and part of Project Meshnet<br />
** Hyperboria: mesh on top of the internet. like Tor.<br />
** Currently running an excellent <br />
* Bay Area Wireless Users Group (died awhile ago)<br />
<br />
= Misc Notes =<br />
* For every 10-20 street level nodes (2.4GHz) there will be one rooftop (5GHz) node<br />
* Ubiquiti Tough Cable - some batches of them weren't UV-resistant<br />
* Solve the hidden node problem with Non-Violent Communication for devices (make requests, send acknowledgments)<br />
** Alternatively, this has been solved with TDMA - but that's currently not available on Linux<br />
* Reflowing electronics - heat up a circuit board at the right temperature in a toaster oven to melt the solder and enable the joints to re-form<br />
* Adrian can port OpenWRT onto anything with an Atheros chip!<br />
* Using epoxy or ... - changes the wireless behavior - to manage outdoor wear & tear<br />
** Conformal coating<br />
* Two options: 1) Keep existing access point / connection or 2) create an entirely new access point <br />
** Not best idea for repeater node to be primary access point <br />
<br />

* WePay currently stands at $1933.00<br />
* 0.7319 Bitcoins!<br />
* Combined, that's $2,004.01!<br />
