We are getting into the phase of the network build-up where we are dusting off the old configs, checking our notes from last time and in general accelerating towards bornhack in august.

Currently on top of the todo list is

  • We need a couple of 200 m fiber cables. The outdoor type - single mode. Do you know of any we can borrow?
  • Decide where to put point-of-presence boxes (and how many)
  • Find flight cases for the POPs
  • Wifi details
  • Get the NOC team organised

Non-network stuff (aka. stuff we can’/won’t/don’t do) we want help with

  • Create a NOC logo!
  • Set up a bot that talks on the IRC channel and inform about status
  • make this jekyll site look super nice

Besides the fiber mentioned above, we think we have the cabled network eqipment needed. There might be stuff missing when we do the detailed equipment count and/or if we decide to update equipment.

The virtual part of the network like monitoring servers wil be looked at later in collaboration with the sysadmin team

Please do get in touch and join us in the NOC team if you are interested in how networking works in a place like bornhack.
