Present: Dory, Edward, Ana Maria, Michael, Gabe, Paul Dowling

• 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

• 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?)

• 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

• cancel the meeting
• move the social to Monday, December 11th

• 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

• 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

• 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
