Recording
- To start local recording, the host has to join and approve. (See https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204101699-Recording-without-the-Host)
- However, we can also set up the automatic recording of the entire meeting. (See https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202921119-Automatic-Recording#meetings.) Umar will try this the next time we schedule the meeting.

Jordan (Updated 2/14/2019)
We had a Zoom meeting with Eyad and Baraa of the Jordan team.
- They will install the PingER traceroute server, the data gatherer (ping_data.pl) and the Measurement Agent (MA, pinger2.pl).
- Les updated the web page on requirements.
- In response to Email sent 1/26/2019 they say "We have just finished exams. We will be starting the setup and hopefully estimated to finish by the end of this week."
- 1/30/2019: there is a challenge that they do not have DNS service so we will have to use the IP address as the name.
- 2/3/2019: Another challenge is that we will need to use port 8771.
- The site is up and running 2/7/2019.
- http://212.118.12.186:8771/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl is working from SLAC. The data looks good.
- http://212.118.12.186:8771/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?target=www.slac.stanford.edu&function=ping is also working
- I need to enter it into the meta database, but need and have requested some information
- The latitude and longitude (as decimal numbers) of the site. Within 100 metres is fine.
- A street address would be nice.
- The official name of the University/site.
- The web URL for the university/site. If the university site has a domain then the node name is probably www. If it does not have a domain name then invent one.
- Baraa provided the information 2/14/2019, and Les added it to the Oracle NODEDETAILS meta database.
- It would be a good idea to download and install the most recent version of pinger2.pl available at www.slac.stanford.edu/compo/net/mon/tool/pinger2.pl in case you need to monitor IPv6 nodes. Baraa agreed to do this.
- Eyad has møved to Instanbul Turkey. He will look at installing a PingER MA there.

- Baraa is interested in monitoring other Jordanian hosts. There are 4 other targets in Jordan. They are:
- http://www.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/dbprac.pl?alias=JO.NEXT.WWW&monalias=EDU.SLAC.STANFORD.PINGER
- If there are other sites in Jordan that should be monitored from say SLAC and Jordan please let Les know the details and he can add them to the PingER Oracle NODEDETAILS database, so they are monitored from SLAC. If they are to be monitored from Telephoenics then they will need to be added to the <HostList>stanza of the Telephoenics pinger.xml.
- Les invited the 3rd member of the Jordanian team (xsaifahmadx@gmail.com) to join the pinger-my Google group.
- Eyad has moved to Instanbul Turkey. After he hs settled down he will be looking to do a PhD in Turkey. He will look at installing a PingER MA there.

...
- We will use the amity anonymous FTP server to gather the data.
- They will add the GPS coordinates (lat/long) to the MA data. This will enable looking at mobile PingER measurements.
- Is this correct? What will be the address to fetch the data from by anonymous FTP? If so there any progress? Do you need anything from our end?"
Bebo will contact Topher, and look at installing on a spare Android at Bebo's home in San Francisco. We could also do that at SLAC.

Unable to gather data from maggie1.seecs.edu.pk and monitor.seecs.edu.pk. Email sent 1/26/2019
- results{monitor.seecs.edu.pk}[0] not defined, unable to gather data for 11 consecutive days this month
- Skipping monitor.seecs.edu.pk(5) does not ping by name or address 111.68.101.10. Wajahat will look at it.
- Wajahat fixed maggie.seecs.edu.pk 2/29/2019, Les sent email 2/3/2019 to Wajahat asking about monitor1.seecs.edu.pk.
- pinger.isra.edu.pk is not pingable and unable to gather data starting 2/11/2019. We will wait a few days and see if it recovers.
Wajahat was unable to attend but provided the following update 12/8/2018
- "We have been aggressively pursuing the three nodes(121.52.146.180 (kohat.edu.pk) down since Nov 22/2017; cae.seecs.edu.pk last time we were able to gather any data was September 2nd 2018; and pinger.isra.edu.pk no data since 5th Sept 2018, so it is a candidate to Disable). It appears to me that the participating institutes have started to lose interest in the project. Anyhow, we will keep pushing. Maybe a letter of appreciation from SLAC might rejuvenate their energies. What is your opinion?
- We also need to formulate some research problems that have the potential of appearing in some well-known places. This might help in attracting NUST students which is getting harder these days. I need your help in this regard.

Charnsak is looking at a host in Champasak University, Chan Parsa province in Laos as a potential site for a PingER MA. Charnsak just got approved to make contact with the Champasak University. He expects to set up the MA in the next 4-5 months (say towards end 2018). It also depends on the partner university, and there may be a lot of paperwork.
