First, you can see the implementation we made on last GUADEC at : http://guifi.net/ca/node/4964?size=_original
> * what size of connection we'd need (we are planning two 8M/800K ADSL > connections) > * roughly what you estimate the bandwidth usage will be Last year we had no limited bandwidth ( as we had Gbyte inet connection at the university ) but we studied last year network usage and we had maximums of 13 MB, so I hope that with 8 will be enough. Here you must think about the streaming bandwidth. Is this year going to be streaming again ? As number of people the maximum was arround 80 persons at the same time. > * what hardware would be required, access points, routers, etc We normally use linksys wrt54g and buffallo for the Acces points and WRAP/ALIX/ROUTERBOARDS as the routers. Last year we made a list of material : * 4 WRAP + 8 CM9 * 22 Linksys WRT54G * boxes, cables, ... other material Gil can explain more about the dubget We normally use voyage-linux for router and openwrt on linksys. We can reuse all the configuration and software ( monitoring, load balancing ... ) we developed last year. > * can you do mesh network or do you require cabled network points around the > venue We have expertise on OLSR usage as we have a big nerwork using this mesh protocol and we can think about using it on GUADEC. On Linksy wrt54g its possible to use freifunk that is usefull for big/fast deployments. > * can we leave a system in place that the venue can continue to use for other > conferences (in particular our friends at pyconuk will need something similar > in Sept). Yea, we can deploy a great system! Some questions : * Can you host us during the conference days ? * Do you have money for buying material ? * Do you have a map to explain the situation off all the places that should have wireless network? If you can host us we can come to help on deploying the infraestructure. About the material we can make a list of needed material if we can imagine the place. > > Many thanks for volunteering - sorry to bombard you with questions ;-) > > Paul > >> Ramon >> _______________________________________________ >> guadec-list mailing list >> guadec-list@gnome.org >> http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list > > _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
