Notes
- Node notes:
NodePrinceton - many recent requests for whitelisting, including temporary visitors.
NodeKailash - had issues with splash page, RussellSenior upgraded software and issue went away (more whitelisting).
NodeKnow - Ben met with Cameron Whitten, CenturyLink DSL has replaced Integra, PTP node (same SSID as CL AP) has been boxed up with Integra modem.
- Ben will reach out to Cameron again, and Ben and Russell will stop down some Tuesday to see about node setup.
- Still trying to get the CT-12 and 990N submitted.
- Retired Microsoft person (intending donation) has received a 2014 PTP budget statement, with the hope that keeps moving along.
- Rebranding2016:
- Not enough resources to support change
- No compelling names
- Goals:
- Preserve history and legacy
- Should be simple and catchy
Could do something simple by just adding another SSID (like OpenWireless.org - they eschew splash pages)
- Pull in new volunteers, use volunteers to drive outreach and addition of new nodes
BenFoote suggested early on a transition to Community Wireless Network (by Personal Telco)
- Did we miss a deadline to change the name? Discussion started October 2015.
- Goal is to connect with new users, organizations.
- Also need to follow through after initial outreach (Rosewood Initiative, APANO).
- Work "bridge" into the name.
- Mt. St. Helens rememberences.
