Agenda

• Node notes:

  • NodeStreetRoots -- was offline due to ISP change, fixed up temporarily, planning to replace Buffalo WZR600DHP (broken antenna) with an Meraki MR24 tomorrow.

  • NodeBuffaloGap -- install a Ubiquiti ER-X in place of the Alix for better bandwidth, also needs an ethernet tip replaced (due to lost tab)

  • NodeAnkenyTap -- review status

• Received donation from JorenLove's employer (2018-08-29):

  • 1 x AirGrid M5

  • 2 x NanoBridge M5

  • 2 x PicoStation M2

• Russell describes status of ubifs write-back problem investigation (applies to both mr24 and er-x)
• Russell notes that he paid the Oregon corporate renewal ($50) only a week or so late (oops).
• Russell tells of his road trip adventures
• Ted said yes to Annual Board Meeting at the monthly, as he (and Jason) will likely not be at the next weekly.
• Orchard Supply Hardware is supposed to have all inventory liquidated by November 2. Jason bought all the low-volt staples on the shelf from the Tigard store (currently 10% off), no full boxes of Cat 5e/6.

Notes

• Discussion about Russell's search through hardware stores for shielding for temperature sensors.
• Node notes:

  • NodeStreetRoots - Stephouse added routers and switches, co-opted upstream

    • Concern about Buffalo antennas, Russell will put in an MR24 tomorrow

  • NodeBuffaloGap - Install Ubiquity ER-X + work on cable

  • NodeAnkenyTap - Russell will discuss setting up a formal walk-through with management - but we mostly want to arrange early Saturday install time - and bring extra tools

• Issue with ubifs flushing files (at all, ever)
  • Workaround is to reboot (or sync) before a power outage can occur (nand flash devices: mr24/er-x)
  • Factory reset can get remote access working
  • Try mounting with -o sync, shouldn't be required?
• Corporate renewal done a week late - no downside apparently
• Annual Board Meeting
  • Start 7:13pm
  • Russell motioned that all others present be on the Advisory Board, unanimous consent
  • Russell motioned that all positions continue to be filled by same people, unanimous consent
  • End 7:14pm
• Municipal broadband trip
  • Longmont, CO

    • Scott - done with Electric utility, no interest in OpenAccess

    • Worked with a ring around city - starting from both ends
    • Should've worked with multi-dwelling units earlier
  • Ammon, ID
    • Bruce wasn't in
    • Mostly underground in conduit, 800 count fiber bundle

    • 300 customers, 85% of neighborhood take rate, CenturyLink would be a provider at 1000 customers

    • Just build something, don't spend all the money on central facility
    • Network design by Google Maps
    • Sign-up website to collect neighborhood interest - then pay outright or join LID
    • CPE device is x86 board to handle future video
