  • Defer board of advisors until others arrive
  • All agreed to keep same board positions
  • No changes to infrastructure (post office box, etc)
  • Discussed expanding board, still could be done during the year per bylaws
  • Board meeting adjourned at 6:40pm
• Russell disabled monitoring of the oldest offline nodes (year+) in cacti
• Node notes -

  • NodeAlhambra - gateway updated, but when gateway comes up IPv6 allocated (works for ISP offering IPv6, not our block)

    • PTP IPv6 routing metric increased to 5000 - added configuration to configurator
    • Wilf mailed Monday night that in the apartment there was no longer connected, had to do with renaming apartment to unit0

  • NodeEcotrust - Russell opened ticket with WiLine, eventually re-enabled the switch port with DHCP

  • NodeCETI - Bill them this month (30 hours by the 23rd) as they need to spend the grant money, they buy the equipment, so we bill for labor, also 1000' cat6 plenum cable, also cable tone 'n trace device.

    • Bought Xyzel NWA-240-BE Wifi7 device (Qualcom based), Russell partially disassembled for view and testing
      • No WRT device support coming, but stuck with vendor firmware, ZyOS can use as dumb AP, U-Boot shell should be accessible behind their version.
      • Have Nandani buy 8 of these, use one as a development platform, return previous one-off purchase
      • We buy backup devices (5x NWA-50AX Wifi 6)
    • Have Xyzel 10G switch which supports OpenWRT - Russell will test before Friday, needs to back up existing OS

    • Another device PlasmaCloud PSX28 2.5GHz ports $1024 PoE++

    • Ubiquiti option $600-800 but we'd have other issues with their OS
  • Swap Quantum gateway purchase with Russell (keep his, version works)

• Next week's meeting is NodeLuckyLabSW skip 4th Wednesday meeting.
