Fridge

Need to add a combi lock to the fridge and move it to the entrance area to hold "soda"! Dominic is heading to the cash and carry, so what drinks do you want in here??

Broadband

Dominic - do you want to add the details from the broadband company here?

Ok James I will... Please understand that I rang a large number of companies and the one who was easiest and quickest to work with was Opal. All the others I spoke to (a whole load) where good price or cheap monthly or short contract but didn't recognise our line and wanted to charge a large amount up-front for connection.

Our go live date is still the 21st Feb 2011 someone will need to be at the space from 08:00 till 12:00 to meet the engineer. Matt Little is currently under consideration! Dominic

Network

Server

Michael has donated everything we need to build a small, nearly-fanless machine - mini-ITX form factor. The only fan in there at the moment is the PSU, so I'll have a look around at how we can get/make a fanless PSU powerful enough to run it.

I'll put it all together on Wednesday, and hopefully get it all installed. It won;t have masses of hard drive spac, but it will do us for now!

I'll donate my Mini-ITX DC-DC PSU, case and a couple of HDDs - currently boots a Puppy Linux variant from a 32Mb CF card. --Michael Erskine 09:22, 4 February 2011 (GMT)

Naming Convention

As the number of permanent devices goes up, we should choose a scheme to name them. For example, London use names of people in Computing. List your suggestions below.

  • British Greats (such as Brunel, Newton, Darwin, Faraday, etc)
