- | **WT meeting: November 15th, 2006** | ||
- | |||
- | Present: Dory, Edward, Ana Maria, Michael, Gabe, Paul Dowling | ||
- | |||
- | * Gladstone | ||
- | * Michael met with Magda and Chris today | ||
- | * they are interested | ||
- | * very important to them: smtp smoothness | ||
- | * G would like to invisibly redirect all outgoing smtp connections from all of our hotspots to a special-purpose smtp server that we maintain, so that smtp always works without any configuration changes on the client side | ||
- | * NO ONE ELSE IS OFFERING THIS YET, so when we do offer it, let's make some noise | ||
- | * it's a little sketchy privacy-wise, but if people are concerned about privacy (and adequately savvy), they should be using secure SMTP and/or a VPN anyway, in which case they'll be unaffected | ||
- | * the nice thing about this approach is that it "just works" | ||
- | * it'll take a while to set it up -- in the meantime, let's simply announce the smtp server for each spot | ||
- | * launch in time for state of the art -- Michael following up | ||
- | |||
- | * stickers | ||
- | * ink is peeling off -- maybe it's not-so-compatible with Edward's printer? | ||
- | * Edward will give Gabe the overcover stuff | ||
- | * Dory will tweak colours, and add crop marks | ||
- | * Gabe will order more sticker sheets (inkjet and/or laser?) | ||
- | |||
- | * Paul has a bunch of places he wants to sign up | ||
- | * G to send him link to portal page, pitch kit PDF | ||
- | * can a venue pay $150 fee for three years instead of $50 each year | ||
- | * yes -- and it protects them from price increases during the time for which they've paid | ||
- | * but the entire amount is still nonrefundable | ||
- | |||
- | * Edward: we need to think about network membership renewals for some of the venues soon | ||
- | |||
- | * December meeting & social: scheduling | ||
- | * cancel the meeting | ||
- | * move the social to Monday, December 11th | ||
- | |||
- | * January event | ||
- | * organizing something | ||
- | * wifi roach coach | ||
- | * one wifi-wimax backpack | ||
- | * one wifi repeater backpack | ||
- | * lots of testing required | ||
- | * lots of battery work required | ||
- | * need flyers | ||
- | * scheduling, 'cause it's during the day | ||
- | * drill batteries? | ||
- | * solar? | ||
- | * very complicated; let's hold off for now | ||
- | * next steps via email | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | ACTION ITEMS: | ||
- | |||
- | * Michael to follow up with Gladstone; goal is to install there by uTOpia2 launch on Nov 26 | ||
- | * Dory will tweak colours in sticker art | ||
- | * Gabe to order more sticker material and find other printing options | ||
- | * Edward will (remind us to) contact venues who need to pay for another year of service | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | UNCLAIMED ACTION ITEMS: | ||
- | |||
- | * figure out what the SMTP server is for each of our hotspots, and find a way to include that info on the portal page | ||
- | * start working on a network-wide SMTP server, including some method of tracking (so that we can link abuse back to the associated WT user account), and the redirection on the routers | ||
- | * pick a place and (optionally) plan for the December social/holiday party | ||
- | * begin discussing the wifi roach coach | ||
