LIVE MEETING NOTES: October 28th, 2003:

6:00 pm: About 50 people are gathering at Urban Grind for the moonthly meeting. Nigel Ballard, back from a hot spot adventure in parts South, and Darin are at table in the front of the room here we go:

Daren: Welcome remarks and a four point plan for Personal Telco was reviewed.

Nigel: Introduces self and asks new people to introduce themselves. About 10 people introduced themselves.

Nigel says his new WiFi sniffer from Singapore (not Kensington) works well. Nigel explains about a new node being constructed in the Pearl district although details are not going to be released until the system is finished - perhaps in a month or two. Should be a significant node.

Darrin: Gives thanks to the PTP members who are helping set up the new nodes.

Aaron Baer: has the official officers report: Briefly: PTP has a little money, we spent a little money and everything is cool.

Rick Lindahl: Heads PTP's education standing committee. He gave a report on the outreach/education committe. Rick wants to get into the high schools, and higher education, providing assistance to facilitate WiFi. Rick asks for contacts within the educational community to get the word out.

Tom Higgins: Local Content Committee. Several nodes are using "subversion" to link local content on the local nodes. Each node can have their own content if they so choose. So far the software seems to be working reliably.

Darrin: Explains the benefits of PTP membership. You must have a node and a current sponsor (who can varify the nodes existance).

New Business: Darrin thanks Dat and the City of Portland for donating 50 PCs to PTP for local nodes. Thanks!
