== Early Discussions ==
== Required Equipment ==
- A box to put things in
- 1 Switch?
- 1 Router (w/ nat)
- PFSense is a good BSD distribution for this
- DHCP Service
- Many Access Points
- B-mode only
- Layer 2 Bridging only
- Set the wireless APs to "bridge only" mode (or, if they don't have such a mode, leave the "internet" socket empty, plug the LAN into the "local" side, and turn off DHCP--this has the same effect on every one I've tried).
- Run a DHCP server on a separate machine. Mac, Linux box, Windows box, whatever.
- Run the wired firewall on a separate machine and/or the router for the upstream wired connection.
- Different antenna alternatives
- Talk Radios (Can you hear me now?)
- Good hardware combo - three WRT54GL configured on channels 1, 6, 11, all same SSID, using sveasoft firmware, but don't turn up antenna power.
== Machines ==
- Pentium M based server boards
- Compact Flash IDE adapters (for root filesystem and critical systems)
- Compact Flash cards (less than 512mb should be fine)
- Laptop IDE drives for Squid cache and other application storage
== Colo ==
- Acquire a rackmount (Cliff might have a box)
- Acquire colocation (MattPeterson can do this)
== Cables and Misc ==
- UPS
- Electrical cables
- power strips
- extension cords
- 2-to-3 prong adapters
- Patch cables
- 100ft ethernet cables
- velcro cable ties
- crossover adapter/cables
- gaffer's tape/painters tape
- Speaker stands to elevate access points
== Transparent Network Service ==
- Squid
- PF QoS (Packet Shaping)
- SOCKS proxy
- SMTP forwarding
- What other services need forwarding, if we can't do VPN to the colo?
- VPN (where P is Public)
- dnsmasq
- Captive portal
== Services worth supporting ==
== Potential Network Hazards ==
- Freenode IRC limits N clients
- Sensitive IDS devices.
== Cleanup and Teardown ==
- Shutdown and clean up software scripts: cleanup of local machine.
- After events, all necessary data (audio archives) should have been shipped off to the colo beforehand.
