Anders Ramsay offered to handle equipment
Running BarCamp requires a lot of hardware.
We'll need plenty of
- power strips
- extension cords
- ethernet cables
- VGA cables and VGA-DVI adapters
- projectors (4-5 + backup)
- wifi routers
- hubs and switches
Some of this the venue will have, some we'll need to borrow, beg, and steal. Attendees will contribute, we just need to make sure everything shows up, works, is in the right place at the right time, and gets back in the right hands undamaged.
Nick Gray organized this last year. Read his points and feel free to contact him with advice. He did a great job.

The network
Probably a good idea to get someone to be in charge of the wireless network (setting it up, keeping it up) Sunny Dubey from the NYLUG was a HUGE help in this regard last year. (Even so, the network broke down under load a few times.)
