'''Agenda'''

 * Pick location for next weekly
 * Node notes:
  * NodeAnnapurna -- A bunch of APs are plugged in, bridged with dumb switches. Ole is considering more APs to the additional stairwells, possibly another 5 MR24s. Some work done on Zyxel GS1900-24e switch firmware.
  * NodeBeulahLand -- is offline since early December, needs a visit
  * NodeWhet -- ISP transition report?
  * NodeLionsEye -- is offline since mid-December, needs a visit
  * NodeEcotrust -- needs a PoE injector for downstairs AP.
  * NodeAlhambra -- more adjustments, also moving towards a firmware refresh and vlan rationalization after initial experimental expansions
  * NodeBuffaloGap -- ap3 seems to be unreachable, will ping node host to see about a power cycle
  * NodeWhet -- upgraded from legacy DSL service to Quantum fiber (500Mbps symmetric) Very smooth process and install!
  * NodeBrunner -- request from tenant for better wifi for online classes.  Move existing MR.24 AP closer to apt. which requires PoE. Router is APU2 with no free ethernet ports.
 * Gear disposal:
  * 7 lengths of LMR400 gifted to a contributor, they had been in the stockpile unused for most of Russell's involvement with PTP, since the mid-aughts, unlikely to ever use them, given modern PoE-powered radios.
  * other random detritus, e.g. ancient 802.11b Cisco APs, in pile to go to e-waste.
 * APRA Grant update -- no news, presumably due to holidays. still waiting on security-instrument specifications, MOU finalization.
 * Russell going to Seattle on Thursday, back by Friday evening if not earlier.
 * ''Your Item Here''

'''Notes'''

 * Node notes:
  * NodeAnnapurna - Russell flashed 24 port (smart) switch, 7 APs deployed in 5 buildings, 1 facing into pool area, 1 in garage area. Issue on buildings with 3 stairwells can't reach AP from ends.
   * Would like 5 more APs
   * Has a drone, interested in placing AP in large cedar
   * Has given us check for 10 APs and Gateway
  * NodeBeulahLand - failing RJ45 connector tab - Russell will try to replace
  * NodeLionsEye - off since mid December
  * NodeEcotrust - Russell has a replacement injector - Jason will try to replace
  * NodeAlhambra - Needs vlan rationalization and firmware refresh
  * NodeBuffaloGap - AP3 unreachable
  * NodeWhet - transition off DSL to "Quantum" (cheaper and 500Mb symmetric)
  * NodeBrunner - Move AP to better improve access (but has to be outside of apartment)
 * Gear disposal - LMR400 multiple 10's of foot sections disposed of + CiscoAP (802.11b) shed, saved shelf space
 * ARPA Grant
   * DIN - mid-November meeting cancelled 5th month in a row, transition to community leadership (FreeGeek hired DEI coordinator)
   * FreeGeek - inviting Russell for virtual coffee (previous scheduled meetings have failed)
   * MOU - still not agreed to (no funds given, training up in the air)
