Anders Ramsay offered to handle equipment

Kelly Lupo offers to help, e-mail me at barcamp(at)geeknoob(dot)com!

 

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.

What has been offered on loan

  • Matt Katz has a big HD 3k lumen projector he's willing to bring
  • Eric Skiff has volunteered a projector
  • Noel Hidalgo has a projector with extension cord
  • Kelly Lupo has 3 extension cords and 3 powerstrips
  • William Stratas can bring his Apple Airport Express - wirelessly networks up to 9 users

 

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.)
