• Next Workshop

It went great, installation was quick, no issues, and they're working a lot better than expected. They're sending international messages.

We're possibly gonna install 5 more solar nodes, and 1 PoE for home usage.

Future DEA Nodes should be 2 hardware specs, not just RakWireless, but also other brands for diversity reasons. (e.g. we already got 2 LilyGo solar nodes)

The small community node would be a small test node for our workshop.

Bandpass filter (already used by Hamburg): https://www.printables.com/model/1762160-saw-filter-enclosure-for-meshtastic-meshcore-sma-u

We have to use all our antennas with 3/4 dB w/o the integrated interline bandpass filter, as they are for high-distance links.

Ideally, we'd use more antenna types for better coverage.

Alu Case, if we need to buy more cases for our nodes: https://www.wlan-shop24.de/aluminium-gehaeuse-box-wetterfest-ip65.

More a talk than a workshop, it was more for intermediates rather than newbies.

We were also representing the meshnet.lu project and presented a bunch of technical topics.

(orimpe: put slides here)

Forgejo works, we need to migrate the repos to it, and then we need to add the Meshnet repos.

orimpe will do a poll for Companion vs. Repeater PoE vs. Repeater Solar.
