Agenda
- Node notes:
NodeBrunner -- swapped in a fixed up Linksys E8450 with a corrected, modern bootloader for ap3
NodePatch -- ditto for ap1
NodeKlickitat -- ditto for ap floor1
NodeAnnapurna -- Ole Ersson hasn't answered email about Umpqua Bank grant. Give up on application this round?
The two vulnerable E8450 devices spontaneously OKD'd (OpenWrt Kiss of Death) after being swapped out, so the replacement was timely.
- Russell rejiggers paypal to connect to OnPointCU account, rather than defunct US Bank account, moved $8.82 of PTP donations into OnPointCU account.
- We may be receiving Futel Patreon funds into our paypal account, we need to be diligent about allocating those funds properly
- There was also some secondary conversation about using our donation link, with a tag to annotation Futel donations, not today's problem.
ChrisBushick might visit to talk about City of Portland drone policy and the like.
Talked about uses of donated 1Gbps radio link at 60GHz. Reach out to Ole? Wait for StreetRoots to get back to us?
- Russell bought some PoE splitters to play with.
Notes
Provided W9 and EIN to AfroVillage for tax purposes
- Node notes:
- swapped out multiple E8450 nodes with fixed OpenWRT, are there other locations with shelves that would support this
NodeAnnapurna - No Umpqua grant application for this year. ?1Gbps radio link gear? would still need to buy fiber converters, Russell will send Jason HW list to complete independent testing (to ethernet, power)
NodeLuckyLabNW - Stone has a conference here in October that requires significant local connectivity that suggests we should expand the subnet, but also Stone/Russell should suggest to Gary a better topology for APs in meeting rooms and outdoors.
- Possibly move gateway to office
NodeFirstUnitarian - Russell will contact node host to see about replacement hardware for the tower
Paypal page for deposit, annotate for FuTel posts (copy our posts to FuTel site)
also we need to take out 5% fiscal sponsorship when we transfer their funds to OnPoint
FuTel Patreon funds also will be transferred via Paypal, not urgent, unsure about process/automation
- Russell bought 3 PoE splitters (barrel connector power breakout)
- Drones/quadcopter policy discussion
- Consumer privacy act went into effect July 1
Next week's meeting is on Jitsi, the second Wednesday will be at NodeGooseHollow
