Hi,
If you have already been annoyed by the poor documentaton of OpenWrt,
there is an opportunity to improve it and get paid doing this.
More information below (and before somebody explains, I know, Google is
evil).

Subject: Google Season of Docs projects for OpenWrt
Hi,
As discussed previously, OpenWrt has applied and been accepted for the
Season of Docs. We have three mentors (me, Jow, Thomas Hühn), while Hauke
and Paul are "project administrators".
We started proposing projects here:
https://openwrt.org/google-season-of-docs
Feel free to discuss the proposed projects here, especially if you plan to
apply as a technical writer. The goal is to clarify the projects if
needed, and make sure that we provide a good match between projects and
technical writer applications.
The deadline for applying as a technical writer is July 9, see
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline
More information about being a technical writer (requirements, stipend
amount, etc) is here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-guide

Good afternoon people!
TLDR: on lime 17.x there was a Luci web interface (at thisnode.info)
with a lot of configurations, and an option to upgrade the router's
firmware. What happened to that in version 18.06?
I have now two routers to test: a TP-Link TL-WR842ND and a Linksys
E2000, both with version 18.06.
The TP-Link router works great! but in the Linksys I have no wifi...
(now trying to see why)
While trying to test a "vanilla" OpenWRT .bin on the Linksys, I realized
that the web interface for updating the firmware (among other things)
that was present in some 17.x relase was no longer there, instead
replaced by another web app. Is that correct?
Also, do you know where I can look to know why the router has no wifi?
(I can connect to it via ethernet). Also, I will need to make something
specific so that the two routers can build a mesh? (I'm following the
instructions on the section "Compiling LibreMesh from source code")
Thanks to you all for the great work!
The simple fact of sending a mail to you It's a pleasure for me haha, I
greatly admire this project :)
Kind regards, Pedro.
Hi!
As we would like to migrate from github to gitlab it is best for the
migration that every developer have an account at gitlab.com and also that it is
linked with your github account. This way issues, pull requests and
commits are properly linked with your user.
To do that while logged to gitlab.com go to https://gitlab.com/profile/account and
then "connect with github".
Best!

Hi there,
unfortunately we didn't get accepted for this year's Google Summer of Code.
If you know any other org that got accepted and your topics fits, feel
free apply at other organizations as mentor!
Maybe it's also good to have a break for a year, and we'll try it again
next time :)
Best regards,
Andi
I've many routers, connected one after another, with ethernet cables.
"WAN" ---- Router 1 ---- Router 2 ---- Router 3 ---- Router 4 ...
They have libremesh installed, only BATMAN_ADV, not BMX neither babeld,
without DHCP server. Each connected client get the IP from the "WAN"
They have watchping to see if connectivity over ethernet is lost, for
example cable broken between Router 1 and 2. In this case, i suppose that
Router 1 and 2 are still connected through BATMAN_ADV over wifi.
Would Router 3 and 4 be workin over ethernet or over wifi?
I mean .... Router 2, 3, and 4 would have reset IP connection on ethernet
because of whatchping, although Router 3 and 4 have physical connection
over ethernet.
Buen día,
Quería consultarles sobre la construcción de antenas direccionales,
En http://docs.altermundi.net/Antenas%20multibanda (imagenes rotas) dice
que el plato tiene " *la misma curvatura de un Ubiquiti NanoBridge de 25dbi
que se fabrica en talleres de pequeña escala, con el método de repujado*".
También estuve viendo el video tutorial
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frLXrdffFCA&list=PLsbdkodpeR3DfEE_kTdjwWNtO…>
(muy completo)
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?compose=
Me qeudana algunas dudas con respecto al plato a utilizar
¿Tengo que buscar una "Zinguería" (arg)? ¿o es otro rubro?
Busqué "Repujado" en google y no tuve resultados de comercios actuales
Si no tengo acceso a esa antena, podría obtener las especificaciones de
algún lado? curvatura, tamaño, foco.
Material? Es aluminio, chapa galvanizada, o cuál sería el mejor metal?
¿El mismo procedimiento que indica el video es válido para un plato de
DirectTV / Sky ? Pero usando el Foco del iluminador original
Gracias!
Gracias
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ideas needed
!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,
as I mentioned we plan to apply again as organization for Google Summer
of Code.
The application period for organization opened 2 days ago.
To apply successful as organization, we also need to provide an updated
list of project ideas. These ideas are a base for students to develop
their proposal.
Please update or add your new ideas as soon as possible to our project's
website at https://projects.freifunk.net
You can do that via github, just add or update your files at
https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents/tree/master/coll…
Thank you!
Best regards,
Andi

Hello everybody and excuse my poor english.
I'm new here and have a lot of questions.
In the section "get it" says..
"We offer precompiled firmware images of the LibreMesh stable release
(Dayboot Rely 17.06) with generic settings"
What are that generic settings?
I see three variants in the downloads, default, mini and zero. What are
their differences?
Where can i look for that? I'm looking in
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-sdk.
I want to compile from source as a starting point and once i know how it
works, and what does each package or protocol, be able to modify it to fit
to my needs.
I think i could contribute documenting all my questions.
I will send more questions.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: [OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWrt 19.07.0 first stable release
Hi,
The OpenWrt community is proud to announce the first stable release of
the OpenWrt 19.07 stable version series. It incorporates 3954 commits
since the previous release 18.06.0 and 85 commits since the previous
release candidate 19.07.0-rc2.
An upgrade from OpenWrt 18.06 to OpenWrt 19.07 is supported in many
cases with the help of the sysupgrade utility which will also attempt to
preserve the configuration. A configuration backup is advised
nonetheless when upgrading to OpenWrt 19.07.
With this release, the OpenWrt project brings all supported targets back
to a single common kernel version and further refines and broadens
existing device support. It also introduces a new ath79 target and
brings support for WPA3.
-----
Target transition from ar71xx to ath79
This release provides initial support for the new ath79 target, the
future device tree based successor of the popular ar71xx target. For
19.07, both targets are still built, but it is recommended to switch to
the ath79 target whenever possible: future releases of OpenWrt will drop
support for the ar71xx target.
Please read the known issues below before upgrading.
-----
WPA3 support
The 19.07 release brings initial support for WPA3. However, WPA3 is not
enabled by default and *requires* installing specific packages: to run
WPA3 as an access point, hostapd-openssl is needed. For use as a Wi-Fi
station, you need either wpa-supplicant-openssl (station support only)
or wpad-openssl (AP + station). Due to their large size, these packages
are not installed by default, and it is impossible to install them on
devices with less than 8MB flash.
It should also be noted that many existing client devices will never
support WPA3, and that there are client devices that support WPA2 but
cannot connect to an AP configured with WPA2+WPA3 mixed mode. Please
only file bugs if you are sure the problem is not client related.
To configure your device as a WPA3 access point, see:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#wpa_modes
-----
Client-side rendering of the LuCI web interface
The new version of LuCI, the integrated web interface for OpenWrt,
implements client-side rendering of views. This improves performance by
offloading some work that was done on the device (Lua code) to the
client browser (Javascript code)
The LuCI ecosystem is large, and not all LuCI apps have been adapted to
this change, which may result in crashes involving cbi.lua. In that
case, install the luci-compat package.
With this step, Lua usage in LuCI is reduced and LuCI effectively comes
closer to the goals of the experimental LuCI2 without having to rewrite
everything from scratch.
-----

* Security fixes
A full list of all changes and security fixes is available in the
detailed changelog, see
https://openwrt.org/releases/19.07/changelog-19.07.0
-----
Known issues
* Sysupgrade from ar71xx to ath79 and vice versa is not officially
supported, a full manual reinstall is recommended to switch targets for
devices supported by both ar71xx and ath79
* Images for some device became too big to support a persistent
overlay, causing such models to lose configuration after a reboot. If
you experience this problem, please report the affected device in the
forum and consider downgrading to OpenWrt 18.06 or using the Image
Builder to pack a smaller custom image
* Some optional GUI packages crash with an error about missing
"cbi.lua", install the luci-compat package to fix these
* Possible Wi-Fi issues with ath10k-based boards. If you encounter such
an issue, please file a bug report against openwrt-19.07. Please make
sure the issue is not caused by WPA3. If you are using WPA3 and run into
problems, revert to the encryption settings you used before upgrading to
19.07.
