Internet Requirements

SMTP - Port 25
SSH - Port 22.
SQL - 156.
POSTGIS - 5432
Really this is the minimum required, however isn't good enough.

I think the bigger concern is capacity.
Are these requirements for the conference centre, the GeoCamp tent and the workshop labs and other spaces?

Dear Mark,
Looking at the connection info it is likely to be because the ports are blocked
You can get ports unblocked by filling in the attached form (1 form per port/system)
Once returned we can pass this to the network team for them to assess
____
I was given a form to fill in (attached).
Distilling from this a potential approach will be to require attendees to register MAC addresses. However, even though we can come up with a list of mac addresses and port numbers we would still need to anticipate that there will be MAC addresses which will be new (people change tech before/during a conference) and we may not be able to anticipate all the port numbers required.
This rests on whether internet will be supplied by De Veres or the University. Once we know this we can formulate a plan of attack.

Can we have a list of the main questions we want to ask before we go to the meeting?
Kind regards

Who will be providing the internet?
What will the bandwidth and anticipated throughput be?
What ports will be open?
Which ports are explicitly blocked?
What restrictions are placed upon the network by the service provider (user registration, number of devices, etc.)
I think this is more the start than the end of the questions!

I'd suggest that Claire, me, Mark, Shelley and at least one IT person comes - possibly Steven / Jo / Matt / Barry if they want the day trip.
We could possibly combine this with contract discussions.
(I've widened the cc list a bit on this to add Jo & Steven for reference).

What we do need from Mark, Matt et al, is an idea of which ports are required, which ports it would be nice to have, and some idea of potential work arounds. I don't think we can ask for everything under the sun without setting out our requirements a bit more clearly.

Sorry for not chipping in earlier. Ian, Mark and myself spoke about this briefly at AGI.
I was catching up with Jamie Justham and he suggested looking for a partner or sponsor such as BT who could provide tech conference strength wifi. I think this a great idea as I personally doubt that the current conference wifi will be sufficient especially when we look to extend to the tent.
The next action was for Ian to ask around at the OS for suitable contacts in BT or similar that we may be able to approach as a first step.
If initially we want to pursue the conference wifi then I'm happy to help with the requirements but I'm not going to be able to make a F2F in the next few weeks due to work commitments.
Thanks,
Matt.

Also, if the venue aren't providing the main wifi, then we need to negotiate the contract accordingly, for example to reduce the fee on that basis.
For all these reasons we need pretty quickly to work out what's possible from the venue, either in terms of the wifi itself or in terms of getting another provider into the site. We need to have this covered off before we can close any deals with sponsors. (In my view at least).

Claire can you chase Shelley and get some prospective dates in next couple of weeks
Jeremy Morley on October 23, 2012:
Since this has already been handed on from direct contact with Shelley I presume it's ok for me to pursue.
