I spoke to George Bulliss. He has been working with WCC to get EMC a nice place to meet during the CNC Workshop. At the moment, it looks like we can get --a room for EMC --tables (sounds like 8 ft standard folding), chairs --wireless network --probably wired network --probably 24 hour access (but we'll need to provide George with a list of names to give to campus security) --110V power (sounded like 220 single phase is possible, but it would be good to get that request in soon)
It sounds like he will know more in about two weeks. In the meantime, it would be helpful to give him our wish list. Let me know if there are modifications to the following: --a room --can be secured --near the action --with at least 8 8-foot tables --space for at least two "desktop" machines --one extension cord per table, plus 2 extra --wired network --wireless network I'm not sure how the EMC space will relate to vendor space, nor its relationship to other facilities like the machine shop. This should become clear after George's visit in the next few weeks. --Dale At 7:54 PM -0500 2/26/10, Dale Grover wrote: >(Sorry for the delay in responding.) > > >At 12:46 PM -0500 2/21/10, Steve Stallings wrote: >>The 2010 CNC Workshop is scheduled for 22-25 June.
