• Progress on RPi LoRes Nodes

• Sarah emailed Joe, waiting for confirmation sufficient power available in the server room
• Joe indicated we may need to pay for technician to attend when we install, we can cover that.

• Third Weds of every month
• Jade’s Neighbourhood First Software talk (for the Everything Open event in Canberra) would make a good option for the kick off meeting, followed by something interactive
• The Adaptation Game: there are funds available, at a later stage
• 18 Feb will be the first one. At Balam Balam.
• Advertise on Meetup.com - Rob
• Promote through our networks – Sarah

• Draft a Matrix message: Maggie
• Include a PayID: our new email address? Jade

• Currently using Fastmail, Melbourne based. on Jade's Family account.
• Jade and Wade will set something up

• The assumption has been new participants with nodes will have Linux but not everyone is running Linux
• Wade suggests a techie and non-techie sit down and work through the documentation. Wade and Maggie to address through that together
• Updating Wikipedia in future – pass around thumbdrives instead of downloading Zims; as a first step, a blank thumbdrive can work, but QWix will be empty.
• LoRes node set up at Balam Balam: Jade envisages that the node should run on a VPS on the server for now.
• Down the track, we can look at a RPi to run from radio instead of via Internet

• Expression of interest form on the website doesn’t work - Simon will fix that
• For now, add our email and link to the Meetup group: Solarpunk meetups
