# Notes

## Maker Festival & Satellite update

- Updated proposal for Maker Festival sent with some details, proposal [fleshed out](https://pad.riseup.net/p/96G0J9Pm3671)
- Will be updated with the specific questions and picture of node
- We will handle distribution/set-up of nodes with other tables/makers during table set-up
- Satellite Event accepted and live on makerfestival.ca
- [Introduction to networks event posting](http://makerfestival.ca/events/introduction-to-networks-from-the-internet-to-tomesh-net/)
- Registration: **hello@tomesh.net**, dcwalk will manage
- Attendance: dcwalk, ben, udit
- Planning Meeting on **Mon Jun 20**​, Run-through on ​**Fri Jun 24**

## Infrastructure Update: Wekan

- Board is up [wekan.tomesh.net](http://wekan.tomesh.net)
- Current status: demoing, ssl needs to be deployed, rocket.chat
- Integrations: rocket.chat is close; unsure about GitHub
- ETA to live: next week
- Stretch goal of a knowledge management bot with Parsey McParseface / [Syntaxnet](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.9/tutorials/syntaxnet/index.html)

## Under Gardiner Update

- [Project Under Gardiner website](http://www.undergardiner.com/)
- Jon at the walkshop for the Under Gardiner, they indicated they are speaking with Beanfield to provide free wifi hotspot
- Outreach lead is interested in connecting with us and seeing what could be related
- Do we fit into the 'local services' niche? Nodes that host 'local' content
- Related? Scadding Court has a lack of wifi, Victoria Hub pilot project for wifi at a spot
- Revisit in July roadmap planning update
- Jon will continue to keep tabs on these projects

## Outreach Update

- tomesh.101 folder structure, **VOTED** and consensus to adopt restructured repo:
- `glossary`
- `presentation-modules`
- `reference-specification`
- `tutorial`
- Knowledge management considerations:
- Preference for linking to versioned content or commits (on a github repo for instance)
- Referencing internet archive
- Tutorial draft demo'd
- First draft, was tested by Yuri and feedback was gathered
- "new, intermediate, advanced" levels for setup
- Research of existing mesh projects and educational materials to be collected: [pad.riseup.net/p/tomeshnet-meshresearch](https://pad.riseup.net/redirect#https%3A//pad.riseup.net/p/tomeshnet-meshresearch)

## Website

- Emphasize community ownership of network, a fact missing from the website currently **VOTED** and consensus to add to website:
- Ben to send in PR to address

## Related Projects from Ethan

- Introduction into [Ethereum](https://www.ethereum.org/) project and potential fit into mesh
- Interest in raising standards of living without incurring additional financial cost to the government
- Thinking about leasing out access opportunities that reduce cost?
- Decentralized allocation and management of access?
- The [DAO fund](https://daohub.org/) has money for funding decentralized projects, [current proposals](https://dao.consider.it/)
- How could tomesh fit in? Act as a reference example for implementation of a last mile (how this could be a decent model going forward)
- Proposal would be an Ethereum contract, using a standard
- Takes 0-5% return (could indicate which)
- Pay attention possibly to 'build the nation' projects from [Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada](http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/icgc.nsf/eng/home)
