'''Agenda'''

* Pick location for next weekly
 * Node notes:
  * NodeWygant -- had some complaints about a dell laptop not passing traffic, rebooting the gateway fixed it for them, reflashed router with up-to-date OpenWrt
  * NodeCommunitecture -- haven't made contact with host, Russell fails again.
  * NodeKnow -- BenjaminFoote report?
 * Russell has ordered a new TP-Link WDR3600 to see if it has the locked bootloader.
 * Russell spent some time recovering a broken Bullet M5, apparently had a corrupted uboot-env, flashed a special image and erased the flash block to repair, only issue is setting the MAC address, uboot doesn't let you modify it once set (even if by a default version).  Have seen intermittent eth0 problems with the current openwrt on it.  Had another failed Bullet M2 partly boot, enough to capture its uboot-env, but then it died again, apparently a power supply problem, might be repairable.
 * ''Your Item Here''

'''Notes'''

* Rebranding came up.  The meeting to decide on a (potentially) new name was set for April.  
 * Previous fun with considering a new name whose acronym results in CCCP was recounted.  Entertaining ideas resulted, including a CoCoCoPo variant.  However, there was concern that business owners would not be OK with this change.
 * There was some level of agreement among those present that a modest set of words captured the essense of the rebrand.  An incomplete list includes Portland, Community or Co-op, Communications or Wireless or WiFi.
 * Would rebranding involve changes to the splash page?  The sense was no.
 * We don't have a todo list for the summer Member Appreciation Event (MAE) and should start thinking about it.
 * Ted expressed concern about the MAE because what would it really be?  What would make our node hosts stop by, stay for a while and be happy that they did?  Good food and drink?  A nice day to romp in the park with kids and dogs?  Should we send out a questionaire?
 * It was suggested we pick a location near a node host.  Arbor Lodge?  Chapman school?
 * Also awards eg. Longest serving node.
 * Fun was had with Russell's new Chromebook. He arrived with Arch booted from usb; he installed SeaBIOS, and used chrx to dual boot GalliumOS. On Ted's old Chromebook, recently running GalliumOS, less success with mapping caps-lock to control.
