[ale] Slightly OT: Mesh Network Strategy?

[Jim Kinney]

Seriously, beer sales at a Baptist church will be $0 unless everyone gets to hide behind a mask. It's the old joke of always take two baptists with you fishing because if you only take one, they'll drink all your beer 🤣🤣🤣

Beer sales at a presbyterian or catholic church will justify a beer truck! 

Beer sales at an ALE meeting are missing data 🥺

Real idea: if networking costs get too high, sell beer tickets close to the wifi and exchange for beer cups at the tent.
