Notes

• RussellSenior is nominated for secretary. Gave a video presentation featuring an unmanned rocket blowing up. This is his metaphor for PTP without his leadership.

• TroyJacqua is not here, but he is nominated for treasurer again.

• Node updates:

  • NodeRedandBlack has been resurrected. It was a node, but then it was disconnected, but it is now a node again. Much thanks to Brian from FreeGeek. DonPark recommends that weekly meetings be held at broken nodes so that we can fix them while gabbing about Wifi.

• OSCON is July 26th ->. We have a table and one full pass that we can pass around between folks who work the table. There are usually many parties with hosted bars if you come to the Exhibit Hall and get invited by the hosts. Exhibit Hall is free (with your e-mail address), conference pass is around $1000.

• Education Committee. CalebPhillips is assuming the education role. MichaelWeinberg suggests KeeganQuinn for the position, for a more *colorful* education effort. DonPark would like us to have an education document that we can give to node hosts to help them learn and manage their own nodes.

• MississippiGrantProject updates:

  • RussellSenior needs his ethernet cable back from CalebPhillips.

  • NAYA based Cisco is back online.
  • The Black Rose Collective still has a 1.5M circuit that wants to be tied into the Mississippi Network.
  • We have multiple repeaters running on the street with a new WGT firmware.

  • RussellSenior has still not climbed on the NAYA roof.

    • Incidentally, TroyJacqua has just arrived.

  • BenJenks wants to remove NAT from all the repeaters.
