Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly
• Node notes:

  • NodeMississippi -- Russell stopped by the Mississippi Ballroom building on Monday and got a lead on the current property managers, capitalpdx.com, also noticed that they also manage a property a couple doors north of NodeCrowBar, sent a message via their website "Contact Us" form. Also, still working on locating some hardware in the basement, so the work party this week is off until we have a firm appointment to get in the building.

  • NodeArborLodge -- think about replacing SkyPilots

  • NodeBeulahLand -- think about replacing SkyPilots

  • NodeC3PO -- the NanoBeam is still on the roof of our host, maybe should consider decommissioning it

  • NodeGooseHollow -- the AP on the second floor of FehrenbacherHof is unreachable (unplugged? bad PoE injector?)

  • NodeLuckyLab -- second AP in the meeting room is unreachable (not new behavior, think it's the ethernet)

  • NodePrinceton -- ap2 seems unreachable

  • NodeSechzig -- ap1, ap2 and ap3 seem unreachable, the gateway works
• Russell works on organizing our financial statements for 2022

Notes

• Node notes

  • NodeArborLodge & NodeBeulahLand - replace SkyPilots with modern hardware

  • NodeC3PO - remove NanoBeam from roof of host, would not make a good AP

  • NodeGooseHollow, NodeLuckyLab, NodePrinceton, NodeSechzig all have APs offline

  • NodeMississippi - still want to drop by, but key no longer fits the lock (quite old), new management company capitalpdx.com. They asked about a contract for roof access, seem to now have this, but same company also manages taller building to the South

• Russell requested an retraction to an old Tribune article that maligned PTP as MetroFI https://www.portlandtribune.com/news/library-bridges-citys-digital-divide/article_a8490aa5-99ba-5618-9e6b-e9fbc6b5ede4.html

• Russell sent financials over to finish filing CT-12 (Jason will mail before the weekend), Russell also updated PayPal to replace Adam Shand as contact.

• P.O. Box auto renews this month (about $197), Union Bank Branch closes the end of this month.

• Meeting last Friday for ARPA for AfroVillage. Point to point between Street Roots and another building, with outdoor wifi, city was supportive as an experiment

  • Need to get into new Street Roots building (3rd/Burnside), possibly Russell and Ted can see the building next week
  • Rebecca hopes to get grant agreement by the end of the month to pass before City Council
