I am not able to organize the Weekly Meeting this week, due to a
school event I must attent on Wednesday evening. If anyone else wants
to organize the Weekly, please speak up.

I tend not to volunteer for these sorts of things as it is questionable
as to whether I can get out of work and downtown on time.

However, there were some dangling items related to the Parkways events
that probably need wrapping up, so there seemed to be an implied short
agenda.

Which node would make sense to host more of an ad-hoc meeting at?

I would suggest some place that Matt and Sam can get to easily. 

I have corresponded a bit with the vendor coordinator lady, Ronna Seavey, but I think it was a mistake to ask the vendor coordinator whether we need to have a vendor permit... That is how she sees the world, so naturally she'll say we need a permit.

I can't see a rational basis for needing a vendor permit, and so far she hasn't been able to give me an explanation, so I think we can proceed on the assumption that we don't need one. If anybody hassles you for hanging around somewhere, just move on.

I am going to be occupied on Sunday, but if people want to get together on Saturday to put together the mobile hotspot kit, maybe we could do that sometime on Saturday.  What do you think?

That sounds good Russel. Maybe we could test it at Train Day on Saturday! Lucky Lab East or West works for me. I've never been able to figure out how to get my Clear dongle to work with my Cradlepoint wireless router, but I've got three small batteries for it. I managed to burn out 3! of those things by plugging in a 12 volt power cord where a 5 volt was needed. That's why I have lots of spare batteries.

In front of Beulahland.  Or inside(?). Sunny and warm, tables on sidewalk are awesome.  Sky pilots on roof work well.  Good tubes.

Wednesday at Beulahland for meeting - a suggestion - as needed.  But, Saturday at either n.w. or s.e. Lab works well.

I can do Beulahland, to hand off the posters, too (I would not be able
to do that on Saturday).

I am not available after 3pm on Saturday.  We could do kit rigging at my house, where I have tools and materials. I'll have to confirm, but maybe noonish?

Cool - bring them rolled-up and rubber banded.  Like before.  I can saddle-bag them home.  On bike.

Any ideas on how/where to have the poster/flag laminated (i.e., with heat-sealing plastic film)?

Heat-sealing was something I did not want to get into.
However cold (self-adhesive) clear laminate of the right size is available
at Staples (I've picked some up).

Originally I had thought of a solid/semi-solid layer between the
visible sides, but that would seem to make them less portable/useful
for a bike application.

Sam Churchill, Matthew Klug, and other interested parties,

A few days I proposed putting together the mobile hotspot tomorrow
Saturday, at about noon at:

https://personaltelco.net/wiki/NodeKlickitat

I'll need to leave at about 3pm, and I'll be out of town on Sunday,
but I expect we'll be able to get something rigged up in a few hours.
I'd also like to discuss non-vendorness on the ride and what Matt and
Sam (and other interested parties) should and shouldn't do while
representing PTP to stay out of trouble with the organizers. So, if
possible, bring what you expect to take on the Sunday Parkways to my
house and we can get stuff rigged up.

Please RSVP (that's redundant, if you speak french) so I know you're coming.

Thanks!

I won't be there, but if you need a WiFI card I can bring it Wednesday.
