Agenda
- Pick location for next weekly
- Node notes:
NodeLutz -- there was a dnsmasq problem, MatthewKlug reported, still had upstream connection but dnsmasq apparently was not resolving DNS, restarting dnsmasq fixed it. Matt reports that a manager is open to a wiring re-org. We need to confirm that and then schedule a time to do it.
NodeEleven -- went offline on April 15th, got a report from node host, maybe unplugged, we had trouble with the ethernet cable pulling out 1/8-inch and losing contact. RussellSenior stopped by to replace the defective ethernet cable (the clip was squashed flat, but still present, not retaining the cable). There was some discussion of putting the AP on the wall, the desirability of a wall mounting plate. Node back online.
NodeLuckyLabNW -- Russell needs to get back to node host about location of wiring.
NodeWhet -- holy crap, it's back online???
NodeKlickitat -- updated mesh nodes with new firmware to try out 2025.1 batman-adv
NodeAnnapurna -- grant meeting with Ole?
- Russell needs to collate PTP bank statements for 2024 for the CT-12.

Notes
- Node notes:
NodeWhet - Upstairs router (PTP dlink) connected via ethernet to Quantum wifi satellite. Ted replugged everything. Downstairs Quantum wifi hub, has another ethernet port. Still have ethernet over power adapters up and down. Russell will update at least the PTP downstairs firmware.
NodeLutz - On Monday 4:10pm Matt had an issue with DNS on his phone connected to the PTP node. dnsmasq messages "failed to send packet: Resource temporarily unavailable", seems to have been an issue a few times earlier in the year. Maybe worthwhile to update the firmware. Kash ?manager says she resets router about once a week. Interested in reorg of cabling. Russell will contact Jayson to confirm.
Add a logwatch on knod to monitor for syslog message for at least NodeLutz.
NodeEleven - Russell got an email about not being able to connect. Upstream is Verizon wireless cube. Russell stopped by and replaced ethernet (may want to replace with white). May want to wall-mount (currently on table, would need a longer cord/power strip).
NodeAnnapurna - Russell emailed Ole on April 9th, but will ping again to request meeting.
NodeKlickitat - Updated to version 2025.1 of batman-adv, still concerned about Archer C7 gear, ?replace with E8450 (seems OK at Russell's).
- CT-12 - Russell will collect the info for the bank statements in the next week, send to Ted and Jason (who will file).
FuTel - Karl was filling out form for new grant to transfer money to PTP, W9 for RACC grant, bill.com. Maybe the IRS letter will work instead?
- CODE meeting (have a calendar, but not a timely reminder) - 3pm last Thursday, mostly discussing federal grants that are on hold. Afrovillage grant closed out at the end of last year.
Next week's meeting is the monthly at NodeLuckyLabNW, Ted and Caleb should bring devices.
