Introductions

Introduce yourself: Name; Preferred Pronoun; Icebreaker Response; BRIEF Announcements

  • Icebreaker question: do you like icebreaker questions?
  • Benny - he/him - omw, running late. I like *good* ice breaker activities. I think it might be fun to do icebreakers with the person next to you instead of with the whole group.
  • Lesley - probably like 10-20% of the time, I learn really interesting things about people. The other times I wonder why we're doing this.
  • scott - my initial reaction is maybe I don't like them, but they can be fun. I feel like we need to do more about pooling good ones. Maybe instead of favorites we could say "topics you feel enthusiastic about." "Favorite" always messes me up.
  • steven - No strong opinion?
  • jorrit - I think icebreakers are kinda nice, when there's a lot of ice to be broken.
  • null - I like icebreakers the candy. My grandma bought candies.
  • robb - I think they're good, especially if there's a lot of people and you want to start off light.
  • seth - he/they - icebreakers are cool
    • posted a kml file of the path from here to paxio
  • ben - he/they - can be pretty cool, give us some nice stories to tell about each other excuse to be a little less business for a few minutes
  • jenny - she/her - Vote for Disaster.Radio in the ISOC Chapterthon popularity contest! Must be an ISOC member: https://www.internetsociety.org/beyond-the-net/chapterthon/2018/projects/
  • juul - he/him - like em. don't like "what's your favorite this or that?"p
  • Eve - yeah, sure I guess

Meeting Roles

Check in on previous action items

Check previous meeting minutes at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Minutes and past action items below:

  • Email Jonah re: what kind of routing configuration we plan to have for our Archive mount (benny?)
    • Done! Jonah replied today:
      • via Jonah today: "I can give you 4U and up to 5A@120V based on how things are wired right now (note that the existing rack is round-hole mount, but I can give you a shelf if needed for the short term), but I'll be rearranging some equipment in the space soon and we could potentially expand that. We do not currently have a UPS for the space these devices will be in (there is a UPS backup for the power feed to the radio tower, but it's not good for more than 10-15min at load, so will get you through one of our occasional power blips but not a true outage) -- if you want to start with just the routing equipment and it's fed off of low-voltage DC, these devices are surprisingly good for minimal routing installations: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000001zrPYAAY "
  • Eventbrite event (Benny)
  • Meeting to configure servers for Archive mount 3pm Wed Nov 7 (juul, et al)
    • Happened!
  • Add BYOI to Omni Calendar (jenny?)
  • Poster + fliers (Benny)
    • Bringing tonight. Made w/ Grant + Martin.
  • Insurance details - jehan, ben, jenny
  • Purchase gear for Jason's install - lesley, ben
    • ben - met to discuss gear to get, not ordered yet
    • lesley: saw AT&T truck laying fiber to Jason's building the other day. probably need to order a gigabit router if we don't have one.
      • marc: sounds like a 60GHz link would be the way to go
