NodeBuffaloGap -- install a Ubiquiti ER-X in place of the Alix for better bandwidth, also needs an ethernet tip replaced (due to lost tab)

Received donation from JorenLove's employer (2018-08-29):
1 x AirGrid M5
2 x NanoBridge M5

- Russell describes status of ubifs write-back problem investigation (applies to both mr24 and er-x)
- Russell notes that he paid the Oregon corporate renewal ($50) only a week or so late (oops).
- Russell tells of his road trip adventures
- Ted said yes to Annual Board Meeting at the monthly, as he (and Jason) will likely not be at the next weekly.
- Orchard Supply Hardware is supposed to have all inventory liquidated by November 2. Jason bought all the low-volt staples on the shelf from the Tigard store (currently 10% off), no full boxes of Cat 5e/6.

Notes
- Discussion about Russell's search through hardware stores for shielding for temperature sensors.
- Node notes:
NodeStreetRoots - Stephouse added routers and switches, co-opted upstream
- Concern about Buffalo antennas, Russell will put in an MR24 tomorrow
NodeBuffaloGap - Install Ubiquity ER-X + work on cable
NodeAnkenyTap - Russell will discuss setting up a formal walk-through with management - but we mostly want to arrange early Saturday install time - and bring extra tools
- Issue with ubifs flushing files (at all, ever)
- Workaround is to reboot (or sync) before a power outage can occur (nand flash devices: mr24/er-x)
- Factory reset can get remote access working
- Try mounting with -o sync, shouldn't be required?
- Corporate renewal done a week late - no downside apparently
- Annual Board Meeting
- Start 7:13pm
- Russell motioned that all others present be on the Advisory Board, unanimous consent
- Russell motioned that all positions continue to be filled by same people, unanimous consent
- End 7:14pm
- Municipal broadband trip
- Longmont, CO
Scott - done with Electric utility, no interest in OpenAccess
- Worked with a ring around city - starting from both ends
- Should've worked with multi-dwelling units earlier
- Ammon, ID
- Bruce wasn't in
- Mostly underground in conduit, 800 count fiber bundle
300 customers, 85% of neighborhood take rate, CenturyLink would be a provider at 1000 customers
- Just build something, don't spend all the money on central facility
- Network design by Google Maps
- Sign-up website to collect neighborhood interest - then pay outright or join LID
- Longmont, CO
