Harold Vines holds a BSEE and MSCs from Stanford University and an MBA from UC Berkeley. At night he dreams of a large project manager bear coming around and scratching big red tree programmers. Currently he is the Manager of Mobile Technology Evangelism at Intel, where he has worked for 13 years.

Harold will present the features, benfits and new usages of the Intel 2005 Mobile Internet Concept Platform.

8:15: Rob Peterson announcements; have a new node (didn't catch it), membership announcements and requirements were discussed. Rob philosophized that pay hotspots were good- they get the word out.

8:20: MichaelWeinberg talked about fund raising. The next fund raising is a raffle in September, tickets will cost $1 each and start in July. Looking for goods and services, Urban Grind Coffee Shop gave $10 in coffee, others include theatre tickets, etc. Contact Michael if you have ideas.

8:30: Bernard World Wide Wardrive: It's the 4th year, starts on June 12 through 19th to get as many nodes as possible. The idea: increases awareness of security. A website will exist to pubize the event and posted here on the PTP site.

8:40: Tom Higgins: Now the education coordinator. Project tracking. Since PTP is 501c3, we are keeping a wiki page where people can describe their project. Post your project and get together. Everyone can follow it. If you can place a monitory value on your project, post it. Then perhaps funding for grants, etc, could be found.

Playday; Breakout sessions include the public IP, Less Networks, other free hotspot hardware and software. Regularly schedule. Also a general discussion and meeting space.


Stats time...... With just 18 nodes worth of data the numbers are pretty amazing...Across those 18 nodes the PTP is averaging about 172.42 authentications per day.

Top ten nodes are:
||'''Rank'''||'''Node Name''' || '''Avg Auths Per Day'''||
