Summary:

A quick overview of the build system for OpenWrt on supported devices, 
followed by a demonstration of installation and configuration. If you 
have a device you'd like help installing OpenWrt on, bring it along, 
perhaps we'll have time to address it. At a minimum there will be a 
Watchguard Firebox M300.

Russell Senior has been building OpenWrt from source for a variety of 
purposes since about 2006 and has considerable knowledge about the ins 
and outs and what-have-yous.

For background, you can watch a presentation he gave at Open Source 
Bridge in 2014:

(some of the information in that talk from a decade ago is stale, so beware)


Venue:

PLUG is back at Portland State University. Thanks to the Computer 
Science Department and to Andrew Greenberg for hosting us! The room is 
in the basement of the PSU Engineering Building (also connected 
underground to the Fourth Avenue Building, or FAB). Enter through the 
Engineering Building. The outside door will be locked, but there should 
be someone present at the entrance 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!
