Meeting Roles

Check in on previous action items

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

  • e-mail yar about tcp activities (benny)
    • done!
  • Reach out to insurance broker recommended by Jesse - Jehan
    • jenny - I'll pick it back up and rope in Jehan, too
  • e-mail some spaces about richmond tower link (benny)
    • didn't get to it
    • seth is getting good at Google Earth; might be cool if we could *show* places that can see it
  • talk to marc about richmond tower server hardware (benny)
    • juul says we don't have anything fancy to put there, but we do have some old servers we could use
    • question for juul: what would be the ideal hardware we would want to put there? then: let's propose that to jonah and ask if he has anything similar--last time he came here, he said he probably had some hardware he would like to donate to us. in general jonah sounds super willing to help and collaborate--I think we should take him up on his energy in that regard. e.g. if we tell him at a high level what we want to happen there (e.g. run an exitnode) he might have good ideas. could have a breakout group to discuss our vision?
    • benny: what would do with a server there?
      • scott: should we be able to have users share space on it?
      • benny: maybe we should just use this hardware for things in which the location is more important
      • eenblam: we should at least get an exitnode on there and random project hosting
      • juul: what if we had scuttlebutt & DAT on ithttps://www.reddit.com/r/all/
  • create text for byoi eventbrite (mai)
    • haven't done it yet (~_~) going to be gone for a lot of November, would like to hand it off
    • benny - I can pick it up

      • widespread support for this idea
  • Lesley - will test hardware for Jason. Maybe schedule weekend after next? Also, maybe we should upgrade currently scheduled hardware - he will soon have a fiber gigabit connection, so maybe get new equipment with higher throughput? In whihc case, installation would be delayed

      • lesley - sure! I was thinking this weekend or next. I need to confirm with Jason though.
