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
