Sounds great! 300 should be just about right for 100 participants :) There is 2-3 ethernet jacks in every room, so speakers should be able to connect directly to those (I'll bring my USB ethernet dongles). There is also no particular restriction on the ethernet ports, so it's entirely possible for us to bring extra routers and set up a backup network in case the load on the venue's wifi gets to intense. ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list

So I have an old linksys router I can bring. If someone else has some hardware to lend too, that would be great. I'll also bring some ethernet cables. Do we really need more Wi-Fi if there's already support for about 300 devices, with roaming, etc. ? I would think that it would only make it worse. As this seems to be a professional place I would expect they fix things if they break so having one around to create a small network, for example for allowing a speaker to finish his talk with demos, in case of problems could be useful as a safety but I don't think we should plan for something bigger. ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
