• Script to walk nodes and generate wiki text to use in populating node pages, including hostnames, model, channels, ssids, bssids, etc as a step to help ease wiki page maintenance.
• Investigate radio-transparent enclosures that we could put a Meraki MR24 to convert them to being outdoor-able.
• Server move
  • Should we spend ~$500 on another R720 for diversity?
• Ted attended HamWAN last weekend

Notes

• Russell attended DIN today - weather made it a remote conference
• Russell ran script based on nodes checking in to collect data
• Node Notes:
  • WDR3600 useful w/ethernet, but swap out where possible for MR24

  • NodeEdison - don't know how to make xw work

  • AP ethernet runs may be an issue for the two AP-2s with remaining issues
• Script to update base wiki text - TBD
• Right to Repair - Intel state rep against it
