Yes, this was yesterday. Setting up cameras etc left no time for email reminders! The first proper NYC Mesh meetup since feb 2020 included updates on the remarkable progress achieved during the pandemic. Mainly a couple of major NYC public housing installs, and the establishment of a POP at 111 8th Ave, the NYC home of Google. The latter gives the whole network much needed backhaul redundancy, while the former has required the acquisition of fiber skills, and even the first paid employees. The latter made possible by a healthy financial state = $300k+ in the bank. From early days as an ISOC-NY project, launched in 2016 with a Beyond the Net $20k grant, they've come a long way!
