CyberPony Express: Hardware Strategy
Join us virtually for a group discussion and strategy session on Node Types, Build Lists, Educational Content Strategy, and a discussion on Custom Hardware Development
Seems like most folks are engineers so I'm sure this goes without saying:
- Lets keep discussions scoped to the meeting's topic so we don't bikeshed!
- Write down your questions before coming so we can systematically address them!
- We're all aware of this manual, behavior that reeks of it will be ruthlessly evicted by me, Liz Howard.
This session's agenda:
- Node Types
- Build Lists
- Educational Content Strategy for Hardware
- Custom Hardware Needs
- A Build List Repository of Node Types (where to put your artifacts)
Pre-Work You Can Do:
- Got a build list? Bring it!
- Got questions about the hardware? Bring em
- Trying to do a custom thing? Bring it, there are probably people in the room also trying to solve the same problem
- Got educational resources on this stuff? Bring it!
We'll put all of this info in a centralized location that's publicly accessible and highly portable
Open Questions To Solve:
- What is the cheapest per-unit bulk buy of minimum radio nodes we can do?
- What is the most flexible for multiple use-cases and cost-efficient node?
- What is the cheapest per-unit monitoring station we can assemble?
- What is the cheapest per-unit BBS build
- What's the cheapest Internet In A Box build out as of Now, March 2025
This sessions anti-agenda (the stuff we're discussing another time, don't bring it up)
- Where do we put nodes
- BBS Hosting (except as per the hardware requirements)
- Internet In A Box
