updates

Bullit

Scheming to make sneakernet nodes; went to campus with Grant to talk to housing co-ops; made contact with student co-op networking folks; sherman hall network manager replied - person is "in to it" and interested in getting permanent peoplesopen node; we need people in building around campus to provide internet to folks at events/ protests of next wk ban

Bullitt: Mainly we need people around campus in buildings with internet. AirBears and Cal Visitors network is pathetic. Cal Student building, set up a node in there - will do that soon. Maybe later on people want to work on the sneakernet nodes?
Grant: Can work on the sneakernet nodes tonight if people are interested. Have a bunch of batteries. Need to figure out how to recharge
- Jorrit: Idea to have these nodes attached to fixed or mobile nodes?
  - Idea is to have fixed nodes in place, but people with hotspots we could possibly tether to also
    - DanieL: Idea is cool and some have possibly done it, but 1) exposing our name, so if not reliable that's an issue.
      - Jorrit: Could be a good way to test it, no?
        Daniel: Is definitely going to happen - expect overload. Prepare for the worst of massive use and complicated topography
Scott - has been network manager at three berkeley co-ops about a decade ago - knows about topography buildings on

campus

Ben

Ben: starting a job at a local ISP tomorrow. they have a literal truckload of old ubiquiti gear that they'd like to give to sudomesh

Grant

BYOI Workshop logo contest kicks off this weekend! *shares flyer he & bullitt put together*

Sierk

Discussion about building out nodes at homeless encampments - would like to help with that. also interested in more mobile, temporary nodes. may require some fundraising on mobile data connections.
- down by where the daylaborers work, on 4th, would be easier to get shared access from them
  - s: still want to put them in places where people live.
will check back in in 2 weeks

jorrit

gerald suggested deprioritizing the peoplesopen bandwidth - why do we set a fixed amount and not just prioritize?
- sierk: discussion on github.com/sudomesh issues - slightly different. was talking to ??? who cares more about specific amount rather than percentage
  - deprioritize, with a cap?
group check - what are thoughts?
- seems like more autonomy is always good, if implementable
daniel: seems like it would be
grant: someone could add it as an option to the code and then bring it to the group. nice to talk about it, but until someone implements it - let's make the decision then.
- jorrit: as part of the rollout, it csn be an option
- consensus is to try to implement prioritization related issue: https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/2
