Notes

• Node notes:

  • NodeBuffaloGap - Connect new AP6, don't have access to connect wall wart in nook (no accessible outlet)

  • NodeEcotrust - first floor AP down, seems to be a bad injector (very old), behind Alix so low bandwidth, we also don't have an AP on the third floor. Is there a contact we could discuss new coverage?

  • NodeLuckyLab - Russell rebooted, not sure about issue Matt saw

  • NodePrinceton - Jason is in St. Johns on Saturday, will try to to physical assessment

• Link Oregon - Portland has said that cost to run fibre to NodeStreetRoots is $500K+

• ARPA Grant - Russell visited Floyd's Coffee Shop, but did not get on the roof, looked from adjacent building, seems much of the roof has line of sight
  • Floyd's has ethernet runs and access into ceiling, Andy runs their cables
  • Melvin Marks is managing many buildings in Old Town, had interest in inter-connection?

  • FreeGeek - Russell provided basic reqs for candidates, we only want to start w/ minimal screening on Linux
