Hotel Wifi Decisions

[Brian Exelbierd]

Hi All,

We have a dedicated 150 Mbps bandwidth connection for the conference. 
The IT team there is wanting to know our configuration.

They would like to know:

1. What wireless name SSID / password do You need for participants?

Suggestion: flock
Password: I can come up with something unless folks have ideas

2. Thery suggest doing traffic shaping to limit bandwidth to  5/5 Mbps
per user.

3. They can also set up a "VIP" access with a separate SSID.  This could
be used for speakers, etc. who need guaranteed or higher bandwidth. 
They suggest setting the speed to 30/30 Mbps.

Suggested SSID: flock-speaker

4. They can set up the splash page with our text and logo.

Any ideas?

regards,

bex

Here's an idea for a graphic for the splash page:

I've seen 2 +1's on this image.  Can I get a few more so I can email it
off to the network provider?

thank you.

I'll also give that a nice +1 (though I don't think that I have any official
standing in Flock planning).

My experience with this means that people will try and be nice and
give out the info for the VIP access, which makes it entirely
pointless.  That's particularly true as the number of speakers grows.
However, I really have no issues with setting it up this way if that
is how everyone else would like to see it.

I'd suggest that we consider just asking people nicely at the opening event (and
in the booklet) that this SSID be used *only* for presentations and that
speakers should also be using the regular access outside of their sessions.

Many of the people going to Flock will have been to FOSDEM and other sessions
and will understand and respect the decision to have a dedicated "presentation"
SSID. (Maybe we could call the SSID "flock-presentation" instead, to be more of
a reminder?)

+1  I can also find out if they can change the password every day in
case people forget.
