Agenda
- review last meeting's action items
 - planning for retreat
 - node installation updates
 - firmware updates
 - bureaucracy: taxes and 501c3
 
Notes
- let's explore different types of poles for antenna mounting. when we run out of the telescoping poles, we'll try fiberglass.
 - juul completed the mount at nick's warehouse in west oakland (nanostation m5 on telescoping flag pole mounted from second story)
- We need a better crimper for ethernet cables: Let's order one that works for the "through hole" RJ45 plugs and the actual plugs (the grounded kind)
 - We need a stand for the outdoor cable roll so we can actually unroll the cable (otherwise it gets really twisty). Let's build or order one.
 
 - Remember to consult ham tower location stuff
 - We will soon have 5 nodes up in West Oakland that can be used as a test network
 - Let's get the nice through-hole RJ45 plugs and the nice crimpers for them
 - Gigabit (shared) office space $375/mo on Craigslist. In general, looking for res/commercial gigabit installations would be more practical through CL or similar things.
 - Let's try to find a topographical map of the east bay.
