Focus Meeting
- The move toward Ghetto Space appears to be taking steps forward although no space has been obtained yet. A core group is willing to front the cost and sign the papers. Group members expressed support for such an idea by agreeing to kick in 5-10 bucks a month each toward such an end.
- Pioneer Square node is up and running! Test it out and provide feedback as it is our first high-profile node!
- Action Item: Propaganda person is to determine the legal status of the PTP logo.
- PTP in the press: New article in Red Herring? Portland Business Journal? Someone please confirm/update these reports if you have more info.
Linux image with NoCat HostAP etc. now ready! Linux bootable CD/Floppy w/ Host AP and NoCatAuth pre-installed approching readiness. Sylistic image with HostApMode drivers and NoCatAuth reported to be ready.
- All other SIGs resoundingly quiet this month.
General Meeting
LucasSheehan unveiled "TheSign" and received many kudos.
- A wide assortment of patch and yagi anteannae were on display.
- Intel donates 2 APs for PTP to install in needful locations.
We still need offical statements of cooperation from EasyStreet.
- Possible affiliation with Boingo raised. The question: Should PTP nodes be listed in their database? Not a great deal of consensus reached on this topic.
- Shawn and Don will now be watching over the maps database. The title of Map Bitch remains unclaimed.
- Cliff Cox, John Harvey and Robert Kelley showed up to do some show-and-tell about their mobile-ap-in-a-pelican-box, wap11 phones, and a summary of wireless activities in Bhutan and at Burning Man.
The location, date and time of the next meeting is always available on the MonthlyMeeting page. We also have archives of the MeetingNotes from all past meetings.
