'''1. Access point distros'''
DonPark
specification of distributions, define distribution requirements, distro matrix suggested
AaronJohnson
start with bewitched, create a list, then discuss additional requirements
LonnieWormley
start a wiki page and list the current reqs, question the additions, does anybody want to lead the dist specs?, what are the requirements for an ap?
AaronJohnson
example > can you run captive portal on it?
DatNguyen
speakeasy allows setup of public nodes
LonnieWormley
hold up let's finish agenda items first then technical ops later, requirements specifications, DarrinEden leads this item
'''2. Requirements specification and compare existing distros'''
LonnieWormley
soekris hardware can run a captive portal in the access point, all in one hardware, essentially 486+linux+radio card+runs host ip, possibly going with minipci or pcmcia (some previous discussion on listserv)
LucasSheehan
he hears the consensus is for pcmcia, pcmcia cards are lower in cost
LonnieWormley
discussing hardware model 4521
AaronJohnson
model 4521 includes two pcmcia slots, minipci and compact flash, additional specs look on soekris site
DonPark
why don't we use external access points?
LonnieWormley
Urban is an example of business that already have an access point connected directly to their DSL modem. There is no computer involved so there needs to be a solution provided that allows them to use their access point and PTP captive portal page.
AaronJohnson
public and private channels can organize quality of service needs
DonPark
the maximum is 64 megs
AaronJohnson
clarification > up to 64 megs
'''3. Soekris hardware'''
LonnieWormley
soekris.com
StevenSchrodel
does soekris allow for easier mass production?
AaronJohnson
enable people like coffee shops that don't have the time to learn
LonnieWormley
standardize on 4521 agreed, do we want 200 milliwatt cards? what's the recommended card? (open item)
StevenSchrodel
questions the board used in pioneer square, how many days before the next reboot?
AaronJohnson
we're not the only ones to use this configuration, what type of compact flash? like sandisk, flashed locally
DatNguyen
it is flashed via a prepared cd
NatPowning
we must inform people that assembly required, needs cf card-pigtail-wireless card-antenna, price list see hotspotpackage
LonnieWormley
all this stuff acquired from netgate
DarrinEden
recommends amazon and look for 10 dollar rebate
'''4. PTP equipment inventory tracking'''
LonnieWormley
this item i'm working on, we're gonna inventory all the hardware
AaronBaer
do you need help with the database
LonnieWormley

AaronBaer
Aaron is on the database team for asset management, clarification > he will help create the table schema
'''5. New node development updates'''
LonnieWormley
new node development projects discussed
'''6. Tri-Met - T.I.P. MAX line open house and expansion'''
DatNguyen
