<br />
= updates =<br />
* Mario & co finished Deadline for NatGeo grant for $25K that gardenmesh extended to Aug 15th - http://www.natgeochasinggenius.com/<br />
* Sierk removed the blog spam! yay! Wants to workon the website, getting more content up, events etc<br />
* Blake: wrote a blog post on a wifi protocol: cowlicks.website<br />
* Daniel: this weekend or next we'll be cleaning up the wiring in the building -<br />
* Marc: Exit node is back up. Decided last meeting we're going to pay for Hurricane Electric - but then we have since had offers for cheap/free server/bandwidth space [charley & james]. other option is at least $150/month. go to patreon and contribute a few bucks a month. currently receiving ~$20/mo - expenses are $150-250/month. <br />
<br />
== gardenmesh ==<br />
* feedback: circle back to 'feeding 9 billion', how to distinguish? - incredibly cheap, which makes it accessible to people; <br />
** marc: focus on the innovative part of this project - how cheap it is! lead with - currently this technology exists, but is unaffordable for the vast majority of the world's population. we've piggybacked off a new, cheap wifi chip and created a product that's several orders of magnitude cheaper than the existing<br />
** daniel: visually it's very busy, takes away focus from the plant and the chips. you could magnify the shot and stand behind the plant<br />
*** marc: i love it. so many kickstarter videos are overly polished with no <br />
** scott: demonstrate what problem it's solving - show what can happen if a plant isn't getting enough attention<br />
** cassandra: why not situate the video in a garden?<br />
*** and taping people putting it together<br />
** jenny: could cut in 2-3 still slides - namely, a diagram of the components and a cost comparison graph<br />
* sunday: finish prototypes, reshoot video - anyone wanna be an extra?<br />
** folks interested: cassandra, sierk, bullitt<br />
<br />
<br />
== outreach ==<br />
* jehan - outreach - are people interested in trying to spread the network more? what approach to spread it? Powerful antennas, letting people nearby know about the network<br />
* marc - bulitt found someone in sf who would transmit, has line of sight to east bay. worth it to try with 100 mb node, see if we can get link?<br />
* jehan: talked to someone at the NSF/Mozilla event who works on a huge network in SF (SF Mix?) and have a lot of bandwidth they offered to us<br />
** Marc: Tim said he might be able to hook us up with good rooftop access and bandwidth from a local ISP. we should follow up. and eboot regular sunday node mounts<br />
*** ff. David volunteers to help with that sort of stuff. Works on a neighborhood wifi network in Albany<br />
** jenny: could design a 'Neighborhood Ambassador' role - provide step-by-step instructions, promotional materials, etc<br />
*** daniel: good to visualize the areas where we're focusing or are most in need of a strategic link<br />
*** david: like the ambassador idea. need to brainstorm on the heterogeneous goals<br />
**** jenny: wrote a bunch of use cases a few years ago based on interviews with local folks and orgs: <br />
<br />
== sunday node mounts ==<br />
* marc: can we agree on having Sunday 2pm node mounting meetups, and deciding on where that node would be<br />
** jehan: where this sunday?<br />
*** many folks: noisebridge! <br />
**** Blake can help us get to the roof. It's goin down!<br />
<br />
* marc: made https://peoplesopen.net/sunday to organize when and where we'll be mounting sunday nodes<br />
* jenny: add a 'Leads' tab to the sheet so we can organize potential nodes<br />
