Agenda

• Discuss Onward Oregon issues
• Discuss OSCON/TBA project
• Your item here

Notes

• DonPark says we need to take advantage of the MetroFi shutdown.

  • 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. Says there are more on the way.

• RussellSenior met with DorettaSchrock, who was on the MetroFi selection committee, and is interested in doing a network in Kenton.

• RussellSenior got the Meraki source code by contacting them and asking.

• 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.
  • 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.
  • Much faster than wireless.
  • 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.
