But....... the nearest meeting will be on
saturday 4th of February 13UTC

I'll send soon an email to write together the topics agenda, I remember
last year we were in a hurry for GSoC (google summer of code)
applications with Freifunk, maybe this year we can speak about this more
relaxed :)
see you soon
Cristina

ci vediamo al prossimo Incontro Tecnico
mercoledì 15 febbraio 13UTC
Ma....... la prossima riunione sarà
sabato 4 febbraio 13UTC
http://libremesh.org/communication.html
Invierò presto una mail per scrivere insieme gli argomenti dell'Agenda,
anche perchè ricordo che febbraio scorso eravamo di fretta per proporre
i progetti per il GSoC (google summer of code) con Freifunk,
magari quest'anno riusciamo a parlarne con più tranquillità
ciao a presto

TECH MEETING
Attendees:
Cri, Hiure, Elektra, Eric, Tania
Agenda
Services
debug connectivity problems with local services (Hiure) 2 router
connected by wifi and both cable, interest most BATMAN (level2),
Integration w/ local services and content (LokaLR and beyond)
Hiure: Looping issue investigation. Sanketh found solution?
https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Bridge-loop-avoidance
Is a new version needed where this is included? What work is entailed?
Elektra: Potential easy Fix. Shellscript to execute. LM system
doesn't currently enable this. Workaround: Add the line "batctl bl 1" to
/etc/rc.local
UCI: add commands to change /etc/config/batman, or manually edit this.
Hiure: need to find this in LM.
Elektra: To investigate and propose way forward and any support
required. (Done. See 1.5 ;)
Cristina: network profile of our community, and to show where some
comunity configuration can be written and applied:
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles/blob/master/valsamoggia.ninux.org/vs-ninux-generic/root/etc/config/lime-community
Next meeting dates:
* 4th february Organization of LiMe
http://libremesh.org/communication.html
* wednesday tech meeting 1 of February (same week of the other
meeting) or 8 of February (just near to the other) or 15 of february
Hardware
"Legacy hardware that is actually in use in real world community
networks"
What hardware are others already using. What hardware CAN be used.
Where is the most up to date list? Should/how can this be
organized, and shared on LM website/github, etc
http://libremesh.org/docs/en_quick_starting_guide.html
Compatible Hardware
It is recommended that the router has at least 8 MB of flash memory
and 64 MB of RAM. For routers with 4 MB flash memory or 32 MB of RAM,
use the special firmware named -mini or compile one yourself excluding
some heavy packages (e.g. opkg or the LuCI and lime-app web interfaces).
Not all the OpenWrt supported routers work with LibreMesh (at
least, not with its default configuration), for a list of the tested
hardware, see our hardware page.
http://libremesh.org/docs/hardware/index.html
Tested Hardware (from the list in the website)
This is a list of devices that were tested by the community and
reported as fully compatible with LibreMesh, it is by no means a
complete list of the working devices.

openwrt-19.07 branch (git-21.044.30835-34e0d65) And we have the
same firmware also on CPE 510 v2

A7v5, tl-wdr3500, tl-wdr3600, tl-wdr4310, C60, C7, C5
Are we limited to the devices on the OpenWRT list?
https://openwrt.org/toh/start
How are people porting new devices?
Big changes w/ new OpenWRT version. Sometimes previous LM versions
on OpenWRT 18 worked, now with v.19, things break.
How do we define the process of using more hardware, including
hardware not on OpenWRT list.

## QoS,using TC (traffic control)
what do yuo think about aplly QoS in a mesh network, how to know how
much bandwith do you share with the others. can you set a distribution
of this.
on AP and Client, but difficult in nodes of mesh, because that are
running the mesh routing
Bologna: we collect the data by Prometheus + Graphana and show to the
community, we have meeting to show with the others, 1 meeting closed
with everyone inside the mesh network; ither 3 public meeting in a
public place, and we have every season a public tech meeting. we started
to do that meeting for show the privacy problem but at he end is usefull
for the know the consumtion of bandwith
in my island we are 15 with a connction of 30Mbs down /10Mbs up
Elektra: traffic shaping to go on AP that clients are using.
Is there a more centralized way to do this?
Traffic Control Talk:

https://communitynetworks.group/t/traffic-control-on-openwrt-and-libremesh-second-round/888
Who else is doing this, or interested in this?
Hiure:
Pirhana, in Brazil. Allow people to access by Voucher. PiHole - to block
sites.
## support for OpenWrt 22.03
A the moment, about the support for OpenWrt 22.03, from
Bologna/appennino we have in use a link done on Tplink CPE 510 v2.3
working to merge this
