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.
TomHiggins will spec out Twitter functionalities we want.
- Consensus that we should attempt to get interested stakeholders to contribute to ad.
