Add a blurb to each role to describe what each lead is responsible for.

• Pi 3 (cjdns can do 50+ Mbps) + TOP-GS07 mesh point in 5G mode (also 50+ Mbps)
• Two identical setups like that
• iperf3 clear and cjdns bandwidth, over distance and signal strength with iw dev mesh0 station dump

Document Yggdrsaill vs CJDNS testing

Logical map of nodes (CJDNS addresses) connected for MESHPOINT and signal strengths between them

Results

CJDNS/YGGDRASIL with 802.11s routeing disabled
This is the "standard" mode for Prototype peering. CJDNS/YGGDRASIL will see multiple hops if peers are out of range and direct hops if they are in range.

CJDNS/YGGDRASIL with 802.11s routeing enabled

Enabliing 802.11s routing, the 802.11s protocol will shuttle the packets/frames around based on its routing protocol.

CJDNS/YGGRASILL see a flat 1 hop network to all nodes even though some paths may actually be multi hopped. 802.11s deasl with the multi hops

As discussed in our chat, we will keep a public listing of grants and funding opportunities that tomesh is currently pursuing, with their associated deadlines. This page will also list the newly created [email protected] email for receiving inbound inquiries.

https://chat.tomesh.net has a proper cert, but this specific request leads to browsers complaining about unauthenticated script execution. It occurs when clicking on Room Settings:

• Set up "nginx + letsencrypt + dehydrated" by following mesh-services
• Manually run dehydrated script to get certs to bootstrap (cronjob will take care of reissues)

WIP

• Test node that @darkdrgn2k @Pedro-on-a-bike and @benhylau
• Prototype and Mesh Orange developments
• Workshop series (the tech behind) + upcoming SSBC-grant funded features
• Live streaming project by @ASoTNetworks and @darkdrgn2k
• Dragino radio module and EspressoBIN router project
• Mapping and monitoring project by @darkdrgn2k
• Ubiquiti radio testing by @Pedro-on-a-bike (and maybe Dragino radio testing)
• Althea deployment talks

As @patcon brought to our attention, CivicTechTO has kindly invited someone from Toronto Mesh to present about the project. Since this project started at CivicTechTO, and it's been a while since we gave an update, this seems like a good time to catch up.

🤔 I wonder if the drawing exercise we will be doing at our Meet and Greet in Feb can be reproduced / adapted for events like this (as breakout after main talk), both to collect ideas of what people would like to see from our project, and as an opportunity to discuss the issues we care about.

Update documentation to reflect new GH-PAGES model

Matrix.org uses Postgres 9.4. This is expected to significantly bring up performance.

@chrisbarless suggested that we have a 1Password team account. Including:

• Hover
• Email

Seems like these graphics should be over there instead of in documents. If there are any reasons not to move them over post here!

As part of website revamp discussion, we decided to revisit what is on our About page. We should see if the Vision still reflects our current focus. Some of the points raised include:

• We are doing a lot of work outside of what is traditionally considered a mesh network (e.g. peer-to-peer applications)
• Our focus is currently quite different from NYC Mesh, referencing their definition is a little misleading for visitors

Given this is a change in one of the most significant outward facing messaging, we should decide on the copy collaboratively. This ticket is to facilitate that consensus process. The output should include:

• Copy to replace our current About page
• Short one or two line vision to replace the current We are building a mesh network in Toronto on our landing page

Had a call with Pegah today about a symposium she is planning at UofT on Saturday, May 25 (~100 people). Wondering if Toronto Mesh would like to facilitate something at event about meshnets and self-managed infrastructure for creative workers, activists, and technologists (e.g. present a little and give markers and paper to draw their ideal communication infra). See more about the event from our meeting notes.

Currently they're lumped in with Ben's personal account

From #51 we should update with who is the lead for completing and submitting each grant
