[Mesh] Fun, installing mesh

Fri Jun 19 16:36:49 PDT 2015

There is indeed plenty left to do, and Daniel is correct that a number of cables need to be terminated. 

I believe the basement cable run needs to be finished as well (I can't recall the status).

There are probably some other things as well: I think all the routers were modded for poe, but I think we need to test that the longest runs provide adequate voltage; the routers probably need to be flashed with openwrt and configured properly; the whole setup should probably be documented (!!!); and I'm sure I'm missing some things... All in all plenty for just about anyone to do :-) 

Usually there's a outstanding commitment to meet at the omni at noon on Sundays to hack on mounting things, but its always good to do a roll call before hand to get a sense of who else might be there and what people will be working on.

I have a prior engagement from 3-5pm, and I'm dealing with some stuff around my house that has a hard deadline of Monday, so I can't guarantee much attendance wise, but if the other things don't take as much time I will definitely swing by.
