Agenda

• Annual Members Meeting

  • Election of one member of the BoardOfDirectors

• Regular Monthly Meeting:
  • Node updates are nearly done (only three APUs are left, plus any offline devices) includes:
    • new ssh hostkeys,
    • new OpenVPN keys and CA infrastructure,
    • new root passwords and /etc/shadow hash.
    • TP Link WDR3600 in some cases, e.g. with a private network and filtering rules, runs completely out of space on flash, solved by removing some unused psutils-ng applets from build configuration
    • Worth noting that nodes that are offline will (probably) not be able be remotely reachable after the old CA key expires on August 3rd, if they come back up.
  • Interserver VPN links need updating for expiring CA key too, but luckily they aren't hiding behind firewalls.
  • Node notes:

    • NodeCedarHillsCrossing -- DSL modem was replaced, but we had a different outage, appears to be a power delivery problem inside the mall, we couldn't reach either of the Buffalo WZR600DHP access points since noon-ish on Monday. Resolved Wednesday morning, when scissor lift was able to confirm the power to the ledge outlets was off, and the power was restored.

    • NodePotatoChampion still needs router to be returned and plugged in.

    • NodeEcotrust got its upstairs AP plugged back in, cable had fallen out of the PoE injector.

    • NodeLuckyLab -- will try to replace the APs with Meraki MR24's at the meeting.

    • NodeBeulahLand -- seems alix is okay, but roof is not reachable?

    • NodeLikewise -- needs a replacement MR24 and/or power supply

    • NodeMoby -- we are planning to add a Ubiquiti Nano Loco M2 and a long ethernet run to improve upstairs coverage.

    • new VZA node coming in St Johns, meeting at the site next Monday.
    • Offline nodes include:

      • NodeCommunitecture

      • NodeGreenNoise

      • NodeHawthorne

      • NodeBluebird

      • NodeGarfieldFailing (Max Orhai's node, where is he??)

• Cleaning more (last of) the SkyPilots out of Russell's garage, schedule a work party?

• <add your item here>
