Damn. I have an OpenWRT AP network of around 40 devices and was planning to go to this one. But I got COVID on Friday and I don't think any of you are going to want me there that soon afterwards. Will this be recorded?

Until recently there wasn't a FLOSS method of doing this. OpenWISP (https://openwisp.org/) is a modular and programmable Open Source Network Management System for OpenWrt. In this presentation we will go over the simple installation and setup process, including connection to multiple OpenWrt access points. Bio: Eldo Varghese is a constant nomad that has settled in Portland as of 3 years ago. Recently turned 40 and looking for more community in his old age. Currently works in an SRE/Devops role at a small non-profit academic journal (https://plos.org). Involved in Linux community in some fashion since 2007, and have used OpenWrt for the past 15 years. Venue: This month marks the return of PLUG to Portland State University, since the pandemic. Thanks to the Computer Science Department and to Andrew Greenberg for hosting us! The room is the traditional one in the basement of the PSU Engineering Building (also connected underground to the Fourth Avenue Building, or FAB). The outside door will be locked, but there should be someone present at the entrance to the Engineering Building to let you in starting at 6:40pm until 7pm. There will be a sign on the door with a phone number you can SMS if there isn't someone there to let you in immediately. PS: We are going to need a volunteer to hang out by the outside door until start time to let people in, let me know if you are willing to do that. Thanks! -- Russell Senior PLUG Volunteer russ...@pdxlinux.org
