For next project meeting:
* introductions and recent projects and contributions related with LibreMesh
## How to use donations (buying hardware?)
Old decision: stickers to be printed by people attending events.
Currently we have 617 $
https://opencollective.com/libremesh#category-BUDGET
We need to write an email defining for what the money can be spent. The
decision would be taken in the project meetings.
From the meeting minute of 2023-04-01:
* pay the travel to the battlemesh for some of librerouter/altermundi
(maybe next year or another event)
* pay the travel for the travel to battlemesh for some people of
Antennine (maybe next year or another event)
* pay the update of the server of downloads CodigoSur? Chiede Cri
* buy some stickers LibreMesh YES
* donation for the domain name? for the newsletter?
* email @libremesh.org? [20231101 nah]
* hardware per testare il supporto?
Ger: the priority should be having a release
New proposals:
* Pay someone for some testing hours
* Gothos? (Ilario asks)
* Proposing to everyone in the mailing list (Ilario writes) and the
final decision is taken in the project meeting
* We can offer 550 $, keeping 67 $ for stickers
* Define object for payment: make a release
* Test on two different router models
* Report the observed issues
* Solve the issues if possible
* Define price per hour: 20 $/h
* This could also attract more donations, as now they will have a
clear use
* Pay hardware for testing for the release
Minimum testing scenario:
internet1 --wire-- dual_band#1 --wifi-- dual_band#2 --wire--
single_band#1 --wifi-- single_band#2 --wire-- internet2
Requirements for dual_band router:
* at least 1 radio at 2.4 GHz
* at least 1 radio at 5 GHz
* DSA supported
Requirements for single_band router:
* maximum 1 radio at either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
* DSA supported
Scenarios to check:
* checking if the internet connection internet1 goes down, if the wifi
clients (common AP name) still have connection
* checking if the internet connection internet2 goes down, if the wifi
clients (common AP name) still have connection
* checking if the internet connection internet1 goes down, if the cabled
clients (on dual_band#2) still have connection
* checking if the internet connection internet2 goes down, if the cabled
clients (on dual_band#2) still have connection
* checking roaming, e.g. with an audio call
* define exactly how router wire to router is connected: LAN to LAN with
mesh configuration e.g.
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles/tree/master/calafou#lime-community-configuration-3
Additional tasks:
* document how to set ethernet interfaces for mesh only or clients only
## News about Altermundi roadmap 2023
Cri asked in the ML
SAn answered that is working in the hardware of LibreRouter2
## Where to store the log of the meetings
ML is ok
Website also ok (the archive of the ML is public anyway, so public is ok)
Cri will copy the info to the website
## OpenWrt 22 or OpenWrt 23 as a base for the next release candidate?
Currently, the release candidate 2023.1 is based on OpenWrt 22
Ilario: 23
SAn: 23
Madez: 23
Cri: 22 or 23 are ok
Gothos: 23
Ilario: let's name the new release candidate 2024.1-rc1
SCENARIO ESISTENTE:
rete mista openwrt & libremesh, feedback that the developing of
libremesh is not enought fast as openwrt to releasing. Which relation
there is with gluon? and which different?
IMAGES ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE:
https://firmware-libremesh.antennine.campiinrete.org/releases/master-ow23/
## Free discussion about other projects and LibreMesh
Discussing technical solutions in Gluon
Gothos: Would be good to have a network-profile compatible with Gluon
Discussing the problem of slow release cycle in LibreMesh
## Outdated release server
The server is outdated and is impossible to install anything.
For some next meetings we need to think about it!
## Firmware signatures
Check the "### Add new signing keys" section of this email:
https://lists.autistici.org/message/20230929.142923.34529fc1.en.html
Screenshots from Github:
---
Seems that the keys cannot be accessed, so we either find who has the
original key or we upload a new one.
---
Ilario writes to the people who could have the original key.
If noone has it, we will just upload a new one/pair during the next
project meeting.
Maybe the key on Github is the same also on the repo server.
Gothos will check.
## Next meeting
Saturday the 2th of December 2023 at 13:00 UTC (14:00 CET, 10:00 ART).
