<br />
=Notes=<br />
*How the site works:<br />
**Create an account and put in the MAC address of the mesh router<br />
**Allows us to build a list of all the routers on the network<br />
*openmesh firmware runs a shell script when first installed, connects to openmesh.org and our own instance, 510pen, is recognized and fed directly to the router<br />
*How the portal currently works:<br />
**Pushes the HTML to openmesh.com if it updates<br />
*How the portal could work:<br />
**Data source on the mesh, some IP, every router could use static pages (using javascript restful endpoints) <br />
*We should get more routers! 8MB preferably, 4MB might work<br />
*We'd need more CPU - WRT4GL's should work - CPU can easily be maxed out depending on size of the mesh<br />
*Installing fibre along International Blvd - a highspeed access point would make it worthwhile to shoot across the city<br />
*Research fibre in East Oakland<br />
*Mesh nodes for GSM<br />
*RanchWiFi - Solar ISP - Matt's connection<br />
*Sudo GSM! We use all the protocols at sudo!!<br />
*Old Sonic routers??<br />
**Opt-in with Sonic? - Dane Jasper<br />
*Should we abandon OpenMesh and flash routers with our own firmware? At the very least, we should field test the firmwares out there.<br />
*OpenMesh used to use OLSR, and is proud to have switched to batman-adv<br />
*802.11s - mesh standard - what's the deal?<br />
*BattleMesh!!! 4/20 in Denmark - we should keep tabs on how that pans out. Or.. go?<br />
<br />
=Reportbacks=<br />
*Jenny followed up in #oti on weatherproof equipment Ubiquiti equipments<br />
*Jenny and Mark B presented 510pen at Open Oakland.<br />
*Follow up with Tony on Cisco connection - "how many routers do you need?" he asked at Open Oakland meeting. Mark's answer, "ideally, one in every other house."<br />
*Bill did not flash the router ;) but his Coursera course is ending soon!</div>Tunabananas
