[Debconf-team] Needed/bringing equipment list on the wiki?
Hi, Has anyone started thinking about what we might like to encourage people to bring with them in the way of equipment? I just bought 4 TP-Link TL-WR1043ND routers (on recommendation from Holger) for instance, that I'll be bringing that should probably be listed somewhere so that people can assume they'll be turning up. Then there's are the perennial ones like the (heavy) badge punch that Holger has, which he gets told is not needed and then turns out to be needed (or vice versa) I'll almost certainly bring my paper cutter (as it doesn't take much space). If I can find my label printer I'll bring that -- I note that Aldi have Brother P-Touch printers on offer at ~20 EUR in the near future, so if people were planning on getting a printer anyway then they might want to grab one of those, but then it's worth checking it it's possible to get the tapes at reasonable prices in .ni, and otherwise buy some before we travel. I have a few walki-talkies that I can bring (to help when sorting out cabling problems and the like). I'd suggest a wiki page, but in the past I note that such a page generally gets ignored so perhaps there's a better way? We probably need a load of power strips, preferably including some Euro power strips with local plugs so that we don't end up with christmas trees of adapters wobbling about. The Euro strips will presumably not be obtainable locally, but it wouldn't take many people to turn up with one each to cover that problem -- so we should encourage people to do that. Are there a local hardware/electrical store that can supply us with a lot of power strips, electrical extensions, gaffer tape, etc.? (we should probably make a list based on what we've spent money on in previous years). If so, could one of the locals go round and point out that we are going to be there for a couple of weeks and we are likely to need quite a lot of things, so we will be selecting the shop that's willing to give us the best prices/discounts.[1] If not ... panic? Cheers, Phil. [1] We'd want to be able to go in there with some proof that it's being bought for Debconf but we probably need to be able to send different people from time to time and so have them get the discount whether we're buying all the mains adaptors they have in stock, or a couple of rolls of masking tape. It would be good if they were to stock up on the cheapest-per-socket-as-long-as-there-is-room-for-adaptors power strips for instance. Obviously, if we can borrow some or all of this sort of thing from the venue or elsewhere, even better. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560]http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd.http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND pgpQ11ZYVhl37.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
Re: [Debconf-team] Having money at hand in DebConf in general

Yes there is a fixed bank fee, depending of the amount of money transfered and the bank. About the time, I asked to an accountant working in a NGO that receive money from Europe and he told me that it take one week for the money to come to .ni But not only we want to have as few transactions as possible - We need today (and we will badly need two weeks from now!) to have money available as we need it (of course, being committed to spend it correctly and getting proper invoices for every expense we make). We have to be able to approve money to be spent right away for any day-to-day issue we find. Right, we need to have money here in Nicaragua, and of course we must spend this money in a proper way with the correct approval of DebConf. How has this been handled in past conferences? Is there a way a larger sum (more than what we have quotes/invoices for) can be transfered to ISIC, with us being responsible that it is completely accounted for? I think DebConf chairs, ISIC and locals organizers can be responsible of record every cent we spend here so both SPI and FFIS will have all the receipts to support this money transfered to Nicaragua.

I heard last night that here is how this works. With gov support: We switch to different hotels that the gov co-owns. These hotels are more expensive, but we will get a discount, *and* the gov will pay 50% of the reduced price. The list price of the hotels is less than about twice what we are paying now, so this _should_ be a good deal for us. However, it might not be the 20k$ benefit I assumed. Anyone else with more information about the budget, please update the budget, or if it is an uncertainty, reply to this message.

Re: [Debconf-team] Networking status
2012/6/13 Norman García Aguilar nor...@riseup.net Hi Team, This week I had another meeting with UCA networking team, and here is some things we check for every room, remember that we will use four rooms (Aula Magna as main room, Gorostiaga as HAcklab, Roberto Terán as second talk room and Armando López as third talk room and/or hacklab) As I told you before, we have a Catalyst 2960 G24TCL as the Main debconf switch borrowed by a member of the local free software community, three gbic connectors, three patch cords and two 1000 mbps transcievers. = Aula Magna, with Video = * On the communication room side ** It will be connected directly to the DebConf switch. * On the room side ** Now it has a 100 mbps with a 100 mbps switch. ** We will remove those and we will use one of the two 1000 mbps transcievers de 1000 mbps (tp-link) ** We will need one 1000 mbps switch here. = Gorostiaga = * On the communication room side ** It will be connected directly to the DebConf switch. * On the room side ** UCA will give us a 1000 mbps transciever ** We will need switches. = R. Terán, with Video = * On the communication room side ** There is a 1000 mbps transciever already, it will be connected to an UTP port in the DebConf switch. * On the room side ** We will have a Cat6 UTP 1000 mbps ** We will need one 1000 mbps switch = Armnado Lopez = * On the communication room side ** The 100 mbps we will remove from Aula Magna it will be used here. * On the room side ** There is an 2950 switch - 100 mbps from UCA already installed here --- As you can see we are still looking from swtiches to use in Gorostiaga (hacklab) and Roberto Terán (second talk room), I'm trying with the local community to see if someone can borrow us swtiches :) but if you want to help us you are welcome :) You can count with a 16 ports 100mbps 3com switch The server will be next to the communication room, and the UCA networking team will have ready five UTP cables from communication room to server room We are plannig to mount the switch in the communication room and prepare connections in rooms in Friday June 29th and Saturday June 30th if we are not ready on Friday.
