Notes

• On Beer: Deschutes Mirror Mirror Barley Wine++, House Beer++

• Drupal and Local Content on MGP. MichaelWeinberg is almost finished with new splash page.

• Hollywood Library: must get in contact with neighbor and see if she is willing to (a) purchase gear and/or (b) pay for the line. If not we will look to the community to pay for it. If all else fails, we will look to other node hosts. RussellSenior volunteers to contact her and start communication.

• OSDL Event
  • Russell asks if anyone has played with his presentation? Caleb will work on it tonight or tomorrow.
  • Russell suggests bringing gear to show-off
  • Russell suggests bringing screenshot of cacti graphs to show up/downage.
  • Russell volunteers to provide carpooling for the event. Meet at 10:30? 11?
• Mt. Tabor gal. Since she doesn't seem to get Caleb's email, so Russell will try to contact her.

• LuckyLab

  • Don volunteers to find out who has the LuckyLab DSL Modem password so we can forward ports.

  • Don bought a cable tester which will be of use to fix the cable. He will go fix the cable and whatever else needs fixing.

• DonPark will get "secretary" paperwork from RobertPeterson for RussellSenior.

• Troy arrives
  • Taxes are coming along or something.

• AnnaBananas

  • Russell bumped into AnnaBananas guy at Amnesia last week.

  • They have apparently aquired intertron access
  • Caleb volunteers to help out whenever this is ready to go
  • Mr. Bananas has Russell's contact info. We will wait.
• P.O. Box
  • Russell will investigate P.O. box, doesn't like the idea of having to check it regularly, will investigate having it forwarded to his residence.

• WifiDog

  • People think it is cool.

  • Concern that it doesn't have an "open" mode (NoCat terminology)

  • Will give it a trial run, maybe on the next install, maybe AnnaBananas

• New Crepe Shop, Tour de Crepe

  • DonPark volunteers to check it out

• NodeRodneyAndSkidmore

  • Troy is going to check this out, probably upgrade the atheros drivers to fix broadcom-atheros incompatability.

  • Both Michael and and Don have been contacted by the O about this
  • Analogy of someone sharing your curbside garbage service.
  • Dissenting opinions ensue. Too much for notes.
• Adhocracy
  • Cool that it is live and usable!

  • Playing with it

• JFDI-fest on Saturday Morning at 11:00am at DonPark's place: 2111 SE Madison

  • Russell suggests getting two from FreeGeek to try out.
