'''Agenda'''

 * Next meeting at NodeBasementPub, 1028 SE 12th Avenue.
 * NodeHostAppreciationParty
  * No word back from Gary ... either he got a new email address or he is ignoring me.
  * Other location possibilities?
 * NodeCommunitecture roof upgrades?
 * Node Maintenance (excluding NuCab retirements):
  * [[NodeBarXV]] - talked to BrandonPsmythe about dropping a WgtCab in there, he thought it was a great idea, should stop in some afternoon to talk to management.
  * NodeOakTree - has been offline for a couple months now, were told they were reconfiguring their network, should check in again
  * NodeCityClub - this has never been a managed node (afaik), we should go talk to them about dropping a WgtCab in there as well.
  * NodeAnnaBannanasStJohns - needs a WgtCab (which I think is just sitting here ready to go), just need to contact node host to coordinate
  * NodeSoapBox - need to replace the old Buffalo with a WgtCab, JorenLove had a WgtCab, but it was misbehaving, waiting for a swap to proceed.

'''Notes'''

 * We can attempt to contact Gary again via telephone. Other location: Mississippi Ballroom? (Mike will have contact for Mississippi Ballroom).
  * Possibility to have Mississippi businesses provide refreshments.
 * Steve notes that OSCon will be back in Portland next year.
 * NodeCommunitecture gave us $200 for AlixCab project. Can we do upgrades to the infrastructure on the roof? We need to repair the rooftop equipment. Sounds like a work party! We may want to put a high powered bullet on the roof. We can also get a 600mW radio for about $80. Can we move on this in the next few weeks? Needs to call Brian (Building Owner) to arrange for work to be done.
 * SteveTree asks if he can link to the Bakery Building to set up a node. We have a line of sight from The Bakery Building to Marshall Manor (where he lives). He also has clearwire service.
 * Discussion about possibility of taking apart the skypilot's sector antenna to make a bunch of directional antennas. Work party?
 * We need to do some legwork (with NodeBarXV, especially) to get stuff online. NodeOakTree (John Schmidt)? Perhaps a work party next week early? ChristopherChen will run with make contacts this week. Field trip for diplomacy!
 * ChristopherChen needs to get cards dammit.
 * Configuration management for openwrt?
