November 7th Hacknight

Attendees

• Jenny, Jeremy, Rhodey, Marc, Olivia, Jake

Updates

• Jeremy has been researching batman
• Jenny researching case studies of other networks
• Marc set up a build server in the sudo closet
• Max has been setting it up
• Marc went up to Sacramento - we are incorporated!
• Rhodey working on watchdog script

v.0.0.1

• node configuration completion
• assigns IP addresses and makes sure that newly-assigned IPs are unique
• each gateway node is a DHCP server
  • problem: request for IP address forwarded to the nearest gateway - but rather, we should get it from the nearest node. if there's no internet, it shouldn't give you a gateway - rather, every single node should be its own DHCP server

Ideas

• Local URLs for Admin and LocalApps printed on stickers on the PoE adapter
• Most concur packet injection when there are no network problems is bad
• We could make a browser extension that hosts the different local applications [eg SudoMesh Portal]
• Could bundle security features like HTTPS everywhere
• We could set up DNS naming conventions eg; .pizza, .oakland that would be subdomains of .local

Action Items

• Write to Max O about the splash page (jenny)
• Finish up Watchdog script (rhodey)
• Finish up firmware (juul)
