Folks, next Saturday is Meshoween, where nasty packet storms strike terror into the most experienced ham network user :-)
Seriously, we'll be linking up big and small networks to see how our ham radio networks handle huge routing table broadcasts.
If you haven't yet updated your node(s) to nightly build 571 (or later), please seriously consider doing so. It will help your node fight off any scary packet storms!
Monitoring instructions will be promulgated a day or two prior to Meshoween.
We've found that as networks grow both in node count and complexity, it's almost inevitable that they'll suffer from a packet storm (or storms) eventually.
Now that the patch for mitigating those network packet storms has been rolled into an AREDN nightly build, we've decided that it's time to stress-test our network. On October 30th (starting at say, 9 a.m. local time) we'll attempt to link as many networks together to see how the network behaves. If you have a long-haul tunnel that you can bring up, feel free to do so.
HOWEVER, if you decide to participate in the test, or think you might be on a network that gets linked in, it's highly recommended that you update your node(s) to nightly build 571 or later to "inoculate" them against a possible incoming network storm.
Before October 30th, we'll provide a reminder and instructions on what to monitor during the test.
Thanks in advance for your consideration! Please pass this along to your AREDN network neighbors.
The AREDN team decided to revisit the idea of an AREDN Conference in the Spring of 2022. There are currently a lot of tasks in progress with few of them far along enough to be interesting topics for a presentation.

This year's Call for Code program decided to add an emphasis on healthcare needs in the lead up to and aftermath of natural disasters. The program's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Daniel Krook writes "Specifically, we’re calling on developers to create solutions that address the following aspects of healthcare:
