LuckyLab: 34th March 2026BR Scribe: EvaGardnerBR
Introduction and General Question Session
- Intro for new faces: April Fools!
- A quick introduction to the goals of PT.
- Smattering of discussion about VoIP, hand count of operational nodes.
Difference between AP and AdHoc Link defined: Star arrangement of AP differentiated from broadcast nature of AdHoc.
- OpenAP: The grail of seamless roaming being pursued actively, but not yet operational on any PTP Nodes.
Special Guest
- Free Geek showed up mid-meeting to show their new slimtop wares. This scribe did not inspect closely, but machines looked to be 486 or low end Pentium for PTP Projects.
Main Meeting
- Outreach: City Club was raised as a possible point for Spreading the Gospel.
- Marketing and Outreach discussions led to suggestion of Personal Telco Business Cards or Tri-FOld Brochure - Let's See Some Designs!
- Michael ponied up for Pioneer Square node - can people chip in 5-10 bucks to keep the ball rolling? Bring it to the next meeting.
- Talk about Hardware: We running low on all fronts and need donations. Got too much gear? Know someone else who does? Donate equipment! Please help out in whatever way you can! Got too much time? Let people know!
- The issue of overlapping nodes is to be resolved thusly: The AP node with the lower node number defaults to personaltelco.net and the higher AP node number gets personaltelco.net/node161 (or node21, node666 etc).
- Nodes of Note now set up: Heaven, Monteauxs Restaurant, South Park Block node hot on the heels and wide in dispersal!
Scriber Disclaimer I was still getting over a seriously congested headcold at the Meeting. Don't hesitate to add your perspective if your memory is better than mine. Please note that this was a prefectly usable template before tonight!
