Action Items

Immediate

OpenITP Grant - throw in your thoughts! - https://pad.riseup.net/p/510penITPapp - due March 31st
Market research on 4MB routers that will run OpenWRT
Juul will research binoculars and send info to Mark (carryover item)
Testing with satellite dishes - in sudo room next week! (after the main meeting)

Jenny, Miguel, Mark B, Bill, Jordan, with some OaklandWiki meshing ;D,

How the site works:
- Create an account and put in the MAC address of the mesh router
- Allows us to build a list of all the routers on the network
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
How the portal currently works:
- Pushes the HTML to openmesh.com if it updates
How the portal could work:
- Data source on the mesh, some IP, every router could use static pages (using javascript restful endpoints)
We should get more routers! 8MB preferably, 4MB might work
We'd need more CPU - WRT4GL's should work - CPU can easily be maxed out depending on size of the mesh
Installing fibre along International Blvd - a highspeed access point would make it worthwhile to shoot across the city
Research fibre in East Oakland
Mesh nodes for GSM
RanchWiFi - Solar ISP - Matt's connection
Sudo GSM! We use all the protocols at sudo!!
Old Sonic routers??
- Opt-in with Sonic? - Dane Jasper
Should we abandon OpenMesh and flash routers with our own firmware? At the very least, we should field test the firmwares out there.
OpenMesh used to use OLSR, and is proud to have switched to batman-adv
802.11s - mesh standard - what's the deal?
BattleMesh!!! 4/20 in Denmark - we should keep tabs on how that pans out. Or.. go?

Jenny followed up in #oti on weatherproof equipment Ubiquiti equipments
Jenny and Mark B presented 510pen at Open Oakland.
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."
Bill did not flash the router ;) but his Coursera course is ending soon!
