• MeshNet - orimpe
• SpaCo update - orimpe
• AG Preparations

orimpe was having some issues connecting to some services and had to use a wired connection to reach NextCloud Talk.

The network in the ChaosStuff needs to be reworked, but SpaCo update needs to be considered, due to Internet Sharing.

Mullvad has turned off OpenVPN support, which has caused downtime in the Freifunk network.

Moving to NixOS looks interesting but time-intensive.

LARU has a few people interested in both MeshCore and Meshtastic, they are also undecided. (some chats about it)

Soon, we'll build a first prototype for the DEA, and the east is slowly being covered with MeshCore.

When should we tidy up the crates? On the day of the GA? Some people seem to dislike it, but orimpe mostly cares about knowing when.

We had a meeting with the VDL, there will be renovations in our building, it'll probably impact us around end 2027 - 2028, we'll have to move out and then in again.

We'll probably have to downsize to a single room, but we'd possibly be a storage room in the basement. There might also the the addition of a lift.

We're not sure what the network situation is going to be like: f.i. PhotoClub Internet Sharing, but the VDL is OK with us having our own network.
