'''Notes'''

 * Russell mentions that the Hollywood Library now has its own wireless service. Previously, it has been well covered for many years by NodeHollywood.  See [[http://www.personaltelco.net/~russell/multcolib-splash.ps the splash page]].
 * Next weekly will be June 4th at WorldCup in NW (18th and Glisan).
 * Russell suggests we have a weekly at PGE Park after we get the Moonlight Staffing node back up.
 * Don will eBay the Blackberry, with account assistance as needed from MichaelWeinberg.
 * Onward Oregon is a non-profit, all-volunteer group that has a large advocacy base. They are interested in working on issues around public ownership of communications structure, particularly a municipal fiber infrastructure.
  * Onward Oregon has about 17K Portlanders on their action alert e-mail list. If there were a targeted action, they could contact that list.
  * Possible action would be tied to MetroFi turn-off. Two actions:
   * If you want to further wireless in Portland, work with Personal Telco.
   * Contact city-council and ask them to support municipal fiber.
  * They will send a template for us to assist in writing the action alert.
 * To-Dos:
  * Make contact with PICA regarding collaboration.
  * Test wireless penetration with van and Powerstation at convention center.
  * DonPark will contact O'Reilly to see if we can setup a useable wireless network.
