If joining a meeting from a Windows PC, the Zoom client will automagically download and attempt to install. For those using Linux, you can download the free (not Free) Zoom client from this page. It’s available for a variety of distributions.
For those attending in person, we will most likely adjourn to Milano’s afterward for food and socializing.
Presentations/Topics:
Chuck Gelm will present an overview of AREDN networking.
AREDN builds open source firmware for certain 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi devices such as those used by wireless Internet service providers. The firmware is a modification of OpenWRT, and works on a subset of OpenWRT-compatible devices whose wireless chipset can be modified to operate on Amateur Radio frequencies. This firmware is actively developed and has had significant improvements in capability and, recently, a new user interface.
