That we will have to be talked about. What altispeed has pledged for SELF2017 is pay for internet connection($600) and all other expenses for me to run the network(travel, hotel, cabling, servers,gaff tape). Then ubnt has pledged to loan all of the network hardware such as APs, switches and router of there current and best hardware. Opennms has also pledged to help with the network monitoring system.

Ok now I have a good idea of the size of the network and will go to the two
sponsors to make sure I have there buy in.
What sort of sponsorship are they talking about?
Funding the costs of the network (we pay a 5 figure sum to get the Internet connection and the privilege of running the network ourselves rather than having them setup and run the network)
Or are they thinking in terms of providing equipment for us to use? (and if so, a permanent donation or loaned for the show?)
Or are think thinking of running the equipment during the show?
or something else?

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.
Regards,
Ilan Rabinovitch

I hope that this is the right place for this.
Here is some information about what we've done in the past.
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
https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa12/technical-sessions/presentation/lang_david_wireless
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.
