[HamWAN PSDR] Weekly Board & Dev Team Meeting

[Bart Kus]

Good call, thanks for the poke.  I would have forgotten.

1) The board will vote on the proposed HamWAN Constitution (attached).
2) If Ben is not airborne, he will present details of insurance coverage 
policy and bylaws research / writing.  I believe the constitution leaves 
a few points to be defined in a bylaws document, although there is no 
procedural difference in updating either after the constitution is accepted.
3) The board will vote on incurring debt to bring the Cougar Mtn site 
online.
4) Curt will be asked to head up publicity / marketing / recruitment / 
use-case research efforts.  Flea Market was a near miss, we need someone 
working in this area.  The last point about use-case research is 
especially important.  I would like the engineering work to enable some 
powerful scenarios for the network's users, but there is no clear 
picture of what network users want to do since this kind of network 
doesn't exist yet. Engineering can take guesses, but it'd be good to 
hear from users too.  Talk to EOCs, ARES, RACES, regular digital hams, etc.
5) Flea Market preparedness discussion.  What are we missing and who's 
coming?  The 10ft Rohn 25 section is kind of massive.
6) Discussion of open items and who wants to take on what.  See the 
website for open items.  I would say the focus right now is on getting 
things working well enough to serve @ the Flea Market, @ MHDC and on 
Cougar.  So RF problem space is front and center right now.  If you 
can't do RF work directly, perhaps you can help it along by implementing 
3D radiation pattern measurement software and figuring out how to 
publish the results to the web.

I'll try to send an update on the RF work I've been doing the last 2 
days which I haven't published yet.
