Updates & Reportbacks

Bugs/Technical

Priority bugs we need help with are located at: http://peoplesopen.net/helpwanted - For a high-level overview of recent Github activity, see the Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/r9l5ouQ4/3b2eecd83bb9e7a57a339cf1ee038288/sudo-mesh-github-repos

  • During last office hours (21 Oct 2018), Grant and Jorrit tried to migrate current build.sudomesh.org (and associated) to a new server so that we can run a secondary exit node on it (see https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/28) . To complete this, access to domain name registrar (namecheap?) and digital ocean are needed. First is protected with MFA, for second the password seems out of date. Ask - please provide access .
    • jenny - i updated password for DO and added grant, benny, and jorrit as users to namecheap. so should be done.

Node Mounts & Outreach

Node Mounts Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/DtzngKaM/49e1c21fc9da199fcdeceb8623b5117a/node-mounts

  • jehan - recently installed a network in medellin colombia! unfortunately not yet online because of issues with backhaul. ISP is flaky :-/ but that's normal. Didn't make the backhaul deal far enough ahead of time. It is ~40 nodes! Ubiquity rocket dishes from a school to a hacker center, where they will have fiber. At the school there are sector antennas that face adjacent hillside. Taught folks how to crimp outdoor ethernet. You can just run a cable across a bunch of roofs and nobody will have a problem with it! Looking for other options while waiting for ISP...

    • jenny: suggest pinging MedellinLibre if they still exist. Contact is Fernando Giraldo,
  • scouted the berkeley marina on sunday. LOS to richmond tower might work, though there's a park to the north of the yacht and sailing clubs that may be a barrier - we should try anyway. jenny has contacts to both yacht and sailing clubs
