Oh and any documents of network layout from last year.

mostly these only exist as paper copies. With all the resignations in Tech after last year (at least 4 significant contributers, including both Chairs), I am about the only one with even a reasonably good idea of how things were setup. Anything else would involve reverse engineering things from the configs. The better approach is to discuss what we want to do with the people interested in the design level of things (ideally in person, a whiteboard is really desirable for this sort of work), and then setup this year's plan from that.

I believe that I am the only person left who had the router password for this least year, and I never logged into one.

What type and speeds of 2016 internet connection?

What type of APs used in 2016?

How many concurrent connected devices were there during 2016?

What was the cabling like? In ceiling, run along walls on the floor,
pre-wired drops back to idf/mdf?

What type of switches were used in 2016?

Can I get a cad drawing/detailed floor layout of the location?

Was the network used for things other than wifi and video recording, such
as, vendors, registration desk, staff or anything else?

What was the peak lan usage in mbps?

Total cable length ran in 2016?

Hi Zach,

Thanks for your interest in helping with SCALE's network and streaming
needs.  I'm coping a few folks that can help answer your questions, and let
you know where planning stands for 2017 and 2018.

Bala copied here is the interim tech chair, between him, David who
replied a little bit ago, and myself we  can help share our current plans
and let you know where we might need help.

In terms of streaming Michael Proctor, also copied here, leads our A/V
team which normally run our live streaming and session recordings.  They
record the sessions using IP cameras, and have most of the editing
automated via some software they've written. I'm sure they'd love a hand
with either the automation tooling or staffing our cameras.

Looking forward to working with you on SCALE 15x.

Ilan Rabinovitch

Can I get the contact info for Stu so I can ask some question of him?

I hope that this is the right place for this.

I have been asked to reach out the SCALE to see if you all are in need
of
help with live streaming, event networking, Wifi or internet access. I
have
just finished up doing the South East Linux Fest (SELF) Wifi and was
contacted by Ubiquiti (a hardware maker) and another company Altispeed
<http://www.altispeed.com/> about sponsoring the networking needs for
SCALE.

As an example of the event networking I have done, here is the post I
did
about the SELF2016 network:

http://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Stories/SouthEast-Linux-Fest-2016/cns-p/1590779

Here is some information about what we've done in the past.

https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/april-2013-volume-38-number-2/wireless-means-radio

This last year we deployed about 110 access points around the show.

The Conference center provides the Internet connection, and we have
paid them to allow us to run everything else.

There is an opening for them to sponsor some of this. We can definantly
use help setting up and running things. At the moment, we don't know who
will be replacing Stu as the person setting up and running the network for
the show. Michael Proctor-Smith is going to be running the AV group, so he
will be continuing to spearhead the streaming effort.

The current plan is to select the new Tech Chair in a month or so.
