Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly

• Catch up with BenjaminJencks

• Consume delicious and hard-to-find ales

Notes

• Russell showed off his PurpleBoxOfDoom, a network stumbler rig in a purple-painted ammo box (which totally looks like a bomb from a hollywood movie).

  • Caleb thinks that Russell ought to either make an instructable or submit it to Make magazine.

• We talked a little about the status of MissNet and my meeting next week about getting on a tall roof being built there, including a little discussion about what we'd want to install there

• We talked about an upcoming workshop on MissNet, probably one of the first two Saturday's in March. BoiseNeighborhoodAssociation is willing to co-sponsor it. Hoping to get an announcement into the BoiseVoice newsletter that goes out mid-Feb.

• The UnwirePDX-Watch.org doings were discussed briefly.
• Various other things were discussed in smaller groups.

  • CalebPhillips and SteveDavis talked about tower-climbing, among other disconnected things. Steve used to be a tower climbing instructor and has some great stories about big and sketchy towers with high-powered equipment. Someone should ask Steve to give a talk at an upcoming monthly about tower climbing as this is directly related to wireless network deployment and is totally fascinating. His email address is steve (dot) yoga AT yahoo -dot- com.

• We ate delicious if slightly expensive meatloaf sandwiches

• Picked the venue for the next weekly, NodeUglyMug in Sellwood
