Just talked with George Bulliss about the CNC Workshop* and I have some more details on the EMC Fest facilities.
It sounds like the CNC Workshop will be in a fairly empty building that has 4 classrooms and some large open areas. (For some reason I think this may be a newer building.) He has set aside one of the classrooms for the EMC Fest. I understand it to be near the entrance, with additional space right outside the classroom if needed. Pico Systems and PMDX will be right outside, and Smithy not far. We will have access pretty much as late as we want. A person will be deputized to make sure the door gets locked when the last person leaves; George will also give the campus security a list of EMC folks who will be cleared to be there late. The building will have wireless internet (open), and the room will also have ethernet (we might need to bring a switch). It sounds like the IT folks are being very reasonable to work with. If we want/need something more (within reason), we can let George know. They'll supply tables and chairs. There are 7 heavy duty workbenches in the building, and one could be commandeered for EMC to use for a heavy desk top mill if desired. It sounds like power will not be a problem (for 110V). If we need 220V in the room, let me or George know. Further note--one of the other classrooms in the building is outfitted with PCs, and it sounded like it would be possible to boot these off of CDs (e.g., EMC Live CD). If this is useful for a class or something directly EMC-related, you can get in touch with George directly, or I can batch the requests for the next time we talk. From what I'm hearing, George is really willing to do what he can for the EMC Fest, and the college is being quite supportive. It sounds like it will be a nice setup for the Fest. --Dale *CNC Workshop, June 22-25, 2010, Washtenaw Community College, Ann Arbor, Michigan. http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
