Good on the switches.

Shame about the Cisco, any connection with the partying?! :-/

Sounds good.

I've got the free broadband access arranged with
http://www.ineedbroadband.co.uk for this event. Forgot who's offered the
WiFi AP that we can use. If it can be brought to the meet on Wednesday,
I can test out the access before the Partying on Sunday.

I'm bringing my fileserver box and a few power leads. I'll also bring
along whatever else comes to mind.


It should be good!

I'll be there for high noon. Anyone else is very welcome to help set up.

Cheers,
Martin
