All- I just wanted to point out, I just started a list of ISP options for
Oakland residents on the Sudo wiki:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Internet#Internet_options_for_Oakland_residents
I included a note about peoplesopen.net -- I'd love to see others'
improvements on this page if I've left anything out (I'm sure there's lots)
or if things can be explained better.

Today I flashed the first router with sudomesh firmware and used the
node-configurator to set it up. After fixing a few bugs, it now comes up
mostly correctly after configuration(!)
Here are the remaining ToDos that I feel we need to deal with before I feel
we can "ship" this as an initial launch:
* The simplified web gui does not allow me to log in. Trying to log in as
root gives the error "The CGI process did not produce any response"
* Change meshrouting script to establish NAT between mesh and private wifi
network.
* Add upstream traffic control to tunneldigger hook script.
* Hook web gui into batman-adv and tunneldigger for changes to shared
internet bandwidth.
* Ensure that exit and relay nodes are configured correctly.
* Change MTU on interfaces to make batman happy.
Max: Any idea about the web gui error? Also, if you're trying to work with
node-configurator, remember that the client only trusts the certificate
included in the firmware here:
https://github.com/sudomesh/openwrt-firmware/blob/master/files/etc/nodeconf…
The node-configurator client will refuse to connect to anything that
doesn't have a cert signed by that root ca. Easiest solution for testing is
to use the script included with node-configurator to generate your own root
cert, copy that over the existing root cert in openwrt-firmware and re-run
make in built_firmware/builder.atheros

Hello mesh folks,
I took some donated Sparky boards from Noisebridge with the intention to
use them as wireless sensor nodes (environmental monitoring, etc) but
while I can get OpenWRT installed I run into problems with the hardware
watchdog rebooting the device every 5 minutes. It looks like OpenWRT
includes support for the ar2315 watchdog but something isn't working.
Have you all found a solution or workaround for this?
Thanks, dana
*A note on hacknights, flows and collaboration:*
*We typically start around 7:30 with a go-around of brief introductions and
updates on what we've been working on and/or what we plan to work on that
night.
*I'd like to suggest a Check-in around 10pm to provide opportunity for
people to a) feel comfortable leaving if they want to, and b) receive
feedback on whatever it is they've been working on.
*Would also like to encourage people to task themselves publicly by adding
Action Items to the notes
*And to link dump indiscriminately!

Attendees
- Deekoo, Jeremy, Jenny, Maxb, Marc, Daniel, Deekoo, Xavier, Luis
Updates
- Jenny and Matt went to SF State to give a presentation on Sudomesh to
a computer networking for business students class. Went well! It was 40
minutes long and there was a lot of eye contact! No sleeping in the back!!
- For future presentations we could set up a mesh!
- Internships!
- Prof is interested in tinkering with 802.11s + library in a box
- MaxB working on the build server & firmware generator - ready to do a
new walkthrough for creating nodes
- Deekoo has gotten the Nanostation working (can pick up MonkeyBrains
5GHz from 2 miles away!), Nanobridge not working, wants to do range testing
- We could run the PoE off of old laptop batteries! Mounted on a
pedicab! Bandwidth/speed test + spectrum analysis
- Luis is working on setting up / learning about BATMAN, interested in
working on client-side interfaces
- Jeremy + Daniel did a bunch of video interviews this past weekend!
Interested in education + outreach
- Daniel applied for us to receive a donation of 3 racks, 13/14 hard
drives
- Jenny + Matt + Mitar spoke with Ralf from Internet Archive - Notes to
be put on wiki - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Meetings
- Marc has been finishing up the node configurator, let's test it on a
router tonight!
- Also working on stickers with basic info such as private SSID +
password, admin login info
- Xavier interested in applications of mesh for activism
Ideas
- Add a link on the site for "I'd like to get an intro to the mesh"
- Talk to technology coordinators in schools
- Local applications still in need of a portal page; Luis wants to help
design the frontend
- Tech Support: Send or bring us your router and we'll give you a node
- Daniel suggests a block party to test the range of the mesh!
- Talk to people who own properties about mounting nodes on the
rooftops.
- Inspiration from the FNF - convinced the owner of a housing complex
to provide free Wi-Fi, after which point the chronically empty apartments
were filled!
Checkins
- Chris has a pretty sweet CAD design for a 3D printed enclosure for the
Sparkys!
- Deekoo tested most of our 5GHz routers - 3 Nanobridges working
[Checked out one], 2 not working [plz edit with correct data]
