  * We'll try to get a press release ready to drop upon the announcement.
  * MikeRogoway interviewed MichaelWeinberg at length recently in anticipation of such a story, so we should have a place in it.
 * RussellSenior shows off the reflashed FON Router from the InternationalSummitForCommunityWirelessNetworks, has three total, and there are apparently more on the way. The idea is to install meshy software on them.
 * RussellSenior met with DorettaSchrock, who was on the MetroFi selection committee, and is interested in doing a network in Kenton.
 * RussellSenior got the Meraki's ap61 RedBoot source code by contacting them and asking. It is GPL'd.
 * OnwardOregon would like to do something around municipal fiber, here are some points for their e-mail:
  * Municipal Fiber is the best way to maintain options and free-as-in-freedom networks.
  * Ubiquitous Municipal Fiber is the best way to address the digital divide, create abundance.
  * A network that was open to multiple providers would allow for competition and more options for consumers.
  * Current broadband options are significantly limited in the bandwidth they can provide. Portland is quickly being eclipsed in broadband speeds.
  * Fiber is faster and much more reliable than wireless. Wireless can never scale because it uses a shared medium. Your fiber doesn't interfere with your neighbors.
  * You can guarantee that fiber will work, whereas you can't tell with wireless if a certain location is covered.
  * Independence and Ashland both have it. We should too!
 * OSCON/TBA
  * There is consensus that there needs to be video or images in order to grab attention.
  * We will contact OSCON about possibly being in charge of setting up WiFi in the exhibition hall.
  * ChrisChen is excited to work on the kiosks. The biggest/most expensive hurdle is getting LCDs for them.
