Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Maintained and de-risked the bbb-configs repository by cleaning up deprecated infrastructure usage in line with project inactivity and hardware dismantling. Removed the fesev location configuration, preventing stale settings and misconfigurations. Updated UISP and Wiki documentation to reflect the decommissioned status, ensuring up-to-date documentation and onboarding accuracy. No new features were introduced this month; the primary value was reducing technical debt and aligning configuration with current infrastructure, thereby lowering maintenance overhead and risk.

Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09 — Summary of key outcomes for freifunk-berlin/bbb-configs. Delivered four major enhancements across the repository that improve network reliability, deployment efficiency, and configuration maintainability. Key features delivered include Strom Host Network Interface Reconfiguration (reassigns Strom host primary network interface from eth0 to eth2 to align with hardware port changes), OpenWrt Location Config Updates across q217 and q218 including adding q218 config, fixing missing IP in q217 mesh core, and removing obsolete mgh configuration, Ansible/Jinja2 Compatibility and Template Improvements to ensure compatibility with newer Ansible/Jinja2 versions and updated defaults, and Habersaath Configuration Tuning and Cleanup to consolidate AP entries. All changes involved concrete commits across the four feature areas, including multiple messages across several commits. This work reduces outage risk, aligns configurations with current tooling, and streamlines site-specific network entries for Habersaath. Major bugs fixed include correcting a missing IP in the q217 mesh core and fixing mesh_metric_lqm in Habersaath configurations, along with cleaning up obsolete mgh configuration. The changes enhance reliability and reduce configuration drift across sites.
