Minutes

SpaCo

As is tradition, on the first CM after the GA, people are "elected" or rather put themselves forward to volunteer in the Space Commission, which nowadays mostly focuses on the purchasing of food and drinks.

The following members are volunteering:

virii

xbr

orimpe

deflenken

Project Brainstorming

private surveillance by citizens

orimpe got told you had to contact the individuals initially before complaining to the CNPD

Usage data by ISPs and telephone providers

deflenken didn't back the data hoped

If we want to work on it, we need someone that's a bit more legal-savy to verify our work

Manifesto

virii worked on it a bit in the past, but it was mostly translated Hackerethik

We could work on it in the future, send around a pad in an email with some resources

ChaosMeeting: we should send a mail the weekend before on the internal mailinglist

Freifunk

fflux-test was reset to Debian 12 and set up using Ansible. It allowed us to discover some bugs which were fixed.

A Freifunk Meeting should be organized on a weekend, where we sign experimental and beta with orimpe's key and hopefully release stable, among with other things that people might come up with.

Matrix

Matrix and postgresql were updated, but everything started breaking. After rolling a backup, things came back to life but channels had to be recreated.

Unlike XMPP, Matrix is a black box, which makes maintenance quite difficult

Meshtastic

Meshtastic - An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices

It's an open-source, decentralized, off-grid communication platform that enables users to send text messages and share location data using long-range, low-power LoRa (Long Range) radios
