'''Agenda'''

 * Pick location for next weekly
 * New node status:
  * NodeStreetRoots -- new Accton MR3201A to replace one lost
  * NodeUglyMug -- replacing WGT634U with WNDR3800
  * [[NodeUrbanGrindNW]] -- replacing WGT634U with WNDR3800
 * Ideas for funding replacement of other WGTs?
  Our old standby hardware, the Netgear WGT634U and its equivalent Accton MR3201A (200MHz CPU, atheros b/g radio, 8meg flash, 32meg RAM), is not handling heavy usage very well, particularly with ipv6 traffic over our VPN becoming more common.  We recently obtained a few test units of the Netgear WNDR3800 and are planning to deploy them to our most heavily used nodes.  These have 680MHz CPU, dual-band atheros radios, 16 meg flash, and 128 meg RAM.  The problem is, they are no longer available through retail channels, and anyway were somewhat expensive (~$150 or so).  We found ours on ebay for $80-something new or $65 used.  Price and availability are highly variable.  Another similar model is the Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H or WZR-600DHP.  There may be others.  Our challenge is: a) requesting node hosts to fund the devices; b) finding them for an agreeable price.  Discuss.

'''Notes'''

 * Russell reported on installation of WNDR3800 at LuckyLabNorth, and brought one to show around
 * Russell also reported on new node hardware ideas
 * Russell talked with TedBrunner about needs for a stripped down captive portal and how it never seems to reach the top of Russell's priority queue ... would be a good project for a motivated programmer (hint-hint)
 * Chris mentioned a bar that could use a PTP node, Russell said to feel free to provide them with my contact info, we'd be glad to set them up.
 * Discussed tentative time for a PlayDay for setting up mesh devices for ConnorScott, as Saturday, January 12.
 * Connor also talking about putting a device on his building roof
 * MatthewKlug needs someone to come over to NodeSlabtown to scope out an outdoor placement of a Ubiquiti Bullet
 * NodeBobWhite needs some vlan work, to provide a private network for vendors
 * Steve delivered $40 in cash to Russell, proceeds of the Alvarion sale, also returned a box with the empty alvarion enclosures, and the proxim tsunami.
 * Next weekly at NodeGooseHollow
 * <add missing notes here>
