### Release 2024.1, what is missing
https://github.com/orgs/libremesh/projects/3/views/1
We agree to make a release!
Checking the list of issue, none of them is blocking for a release
Ilario: The most "noteworthy" issues are:
1) Include auto-defer mechanism in deferable-reboot
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/1023
deferrable reboot can be very useful once the auto-defer mechanism is in
place. There is a pull request ready to merge for this:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/1147
2) Problems with ethernet connections between routers in default
configuration
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/1121
The router-router ethernet conection requires manual configuration, as
with the default configuration it is working in a very unreliable and
unstable way.
3) Consider new interface names
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/1132
Routers with unusual interface names are completely unusable.
### Testing grant: status of Hiure's one and funding a new one
Seems that Hiure is waiting the release (?) for completing the testing
grant.
Currently, there are $1415 in the OpenCollective:
https://opencollective.com/libremesh#category-BUDGET
Of these, $500 will be given to Hiure for the testing grant.
What to do with the remaining $915?
Ilario: Another testing grant.
Cri: A testing grant with funds for buying hardware and also a
development grant for fixing the issues identified during the previous
testing grants.
Javier: If we fund the acquisition of hardware, there should be some
clause that says that such hardware will be used also for testing next
releases.
Ilario: Pony fixed every issue they found, still, the "fixing things"
grant would be amazing. If we want to fund a testing grant with more
money for the hardware, we do not have enough money for also funding a
"fix stuff found in testing grant" grant. Which one do we prioritize?
Cristina: the testing + hardware one
Javier: we should define a testing protocol
Ilario: in the testing grant agreement a minimal list of stuff to test
and of hardware to use was already included
### Scheduling next meetings
