Reposted for posterity at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/26_December_2013

=Attendees=
*MaxB, Jeremy, Jenny, Marc, Deekoo, Pete Forsyth

=Updates=
*Jenny and Pete brainstormed some intro flyers last week - Jenny will
work on "elevator pitch" / & mission/vision today
**MeshThePlanet.Org: Planet blog aggregator, calendar, directory/map
[https://github.com/libremap], resources [legal, technical, graphical,
historical, etc], software tools, forum?
*Jeremy went through the video interviews - they look great! He and
Daniel have been going through and marking good segments
*Marc is debugging the last bits of the firmware & node configurator (
see this email:
https://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2013-December/000672.html ).
Upgraded Sudo Room's internet with two new access points. Got the
spectrum analyzer working on our firmware (see below)
**Portable spectrum analyzer: Mac G4 battery to power the Bullet M5,
mounted on a  pole and hooked up to a GPS, running the stock AirOS
spectrum analyzer software.
*MaxB tackling web admin bug, going to write some scripts for more
seamlessly incorporating firmware updates onto the build server
*Deekoo has been barreling through the build scripts for OpenWRT - got
it to download a build root in a secure, but not yet audit-able
fashion - still security holes all the way down  \o/

=ToDos Tonight=
*MaxB on web admin bug [done]
*MaxB writing scripts [done]
*Jenny making sudomesh gravatar [done]
*Jenny on mission/vision & elevator pitch & blog posts [not done]
*Juul squishing bugs [partially done]
