'''Agenda'''

 * Pick location for next weekly
 * Node notes:
  * NodeMississippi -- Russell stopped by the Mississippi Ballroom building on Monday and got a lead on the current property managers, capitalpdx.com, also noticed that they also manage a property a couple doors north of NodeCrowBar, sent a message via their website "Contact Us" form. Also, still working on locating some hardware in the basement, so the work party this week is off until we have a firm appointment to get in the building.
  * NodeArborLodge -- think about replacing SkyPilots
  * NodeBeulahLand -- think about replacing SkyPilots
  * [[NodeC3PO]] -- the NanoBeam is still on the roof of our host, maybe should consider decommissioning it
  * NodeGooseHollow -- the AP on the second floor of FehrenbacherHof is unreachable (unplugged? bad PoE injector?)
  * NodeLuckyLab -- second AP in the meeting room is unreachable (not new behavior, think it's the ethernet)
  * NodePrinceton -- ap2 seems unreachable
  * NodeSechzig -- ap1, ap2 and ap3 seem unreachable, the gateway works
 * Russell works on organizing our financial statements for 2022
 * ''Your Item Here''

'''Notes'''

 * Node notes
  * NodeArborLodge & NodeBeulahLand - replace SkyPilots with modern hardware
  * [[NodeC3PO]] - remove NanoBeam from roof of host, would not make a good AP
  * NodeGooseHollow, NodeLuckyLab, NodePrinceton, NodeSechzig all have APs offline
  * NodeMississippi - still want to drop by, but key no longer fits the lock (quite old), new management company capitalpdx.com. They asked about a contract for roof access, seem to now have this, but same company also manages taller building to the South
  * NodeLuckyLabNorth - retrieve equipment from Garry
  * NodeKailash - Annapurna status? We were going to provide MR24s
 * Russell requested an retraction to an old Tribune article that maligned PTP as MetroFI https://www.portlandtribune.com/news/library-bridges-citys-digital-divide/article_a8490aa5-99ba-5618-9e6b-e9fbc6b5ede4.html
 * Russell sent financials over to finish filing CT-12 (Jason will mail before the weekend), Russell also updated PayPal to replace Adam Shand as contact.
 * P.O. Box auto renews this month (about $197), Union Bank Branch closes the end of this month.
 * Meeting last Friday for ARPA for AfroVillage. Point to point between Street Roots and another building, with outdoor wifi, city was supportive as an experiment
  * Need to get into new Street Roots building (3rd/Burnside), possibly Russell and Ted can see the building next week
  * Rebecca hopes to get grant agreement by the end of the month to pass before City Council
  * Also have educational component, interns will come from FreeGeek
 * Municipal Broadband Coalition of America - monthly meeting included Jennifer and Sarah - suggested renamed to "community broadband" and no longer trying to convince policy makers
  * Suggested setting up something similar to rural "Broadband Action Teams" where we would talk to groups to do urban neighborhood teams
  * Maybe fund PAC to drive candidates for council
 * Buy Ubiquiti U6LR for testing, use at AfroVillage and NodeMississippi
 * Ted considering giving a talk at BattleMesh Barcelona, next week. UPDATE: just kidding. Don't see a way to do interactive video.
 * Discussed in-person next Wednesday at NodeCrowBar 6:30pm
