Subject: update on Iguana Colony

To all members of the Iguana Colony,

Countdown has started for HAL2001, only 10 days left until lift-off. We
are counting close to 40 members and the future looks promising.

Welcome all !!


Here's a short status update.

 Payments

   Thanks for all who already payed. For those unpaid whose name is still
   in red, I urge you to make your payment as soon as possible. (before
   6th Aug). We need this to help us organise everything.


 Tent

    We have 2 parts of 5 by 10m, which will be organised in a square (the
    rental company proposed it for technical reasons), which makes 10x10m.
    We have a wooden floor, tables of 2 by 1m (2 persons), chairs. Height
    is persons height at the sides, raising in the middle. Half the
    windows will be used (plastic window), the other half remains closed,
    keeping sun from our computer screens.

    We consider a 3th tent (makes 10 by 15m), so invite all your friends
    to join us. Setup of the tent is on tuesday already !

    Organisation inside the tent will be taken care of on-site on Tuesday.


 Tent Placement

    We have place #21 on the hal camping, maps should be available soon on
    the hal site. We are near a road so easy accessible for the
    tent-builders, and there is empty space around so we can put our
    sleeping tents around.
    Van de hal organisatie: 
    "Ik zet de 'gerserveerde' tent ruimte af .... maar wil me niet 
     vastpinnen als op een harde toezegging ....er lopen mensen rond die
     andere tent bouwers weg moeten jagen enzo, maar goed als iemand 
     moeilijk gaat doen of al staat voordat ik het door heb ... je snapt het.
     ... Jouw tent staat mooi 'centraal'"
     > ivm plaats vrijhouden, we sturen zelf een 'place holders' team :-)


 Neighbours

    The Belgian OpenBSD group (and Wim Vandeputte) is also attending
    HAL2001 with a large tent.


 Network Equipment (see http://linux.iguana.be/hal2001/stuff.php)

    + Switches: tfm provides a nice start but we need more, to cover the
      tent spatially, so you don't need 10m between your nic and a switch.
    + List your network equipment on the stuff page, including arrival
      date for convenience (contact dag@wieers.com)
    + UTP cable. We need wires for the uplink and to connect the switches.
      Anyone who can provide +/- 500m cable + connectors + equipment to
      build it, bring it with you.
    + tfm is our network guru for the tent, contact him regarding the
      network

 Decoration

    We want a tasteful place :-) So take that poster, mascotte, etc to
    enhance our Colony tent. Kangaroot provides a banner and penguins.
    A sound installation (with DJ) is confirmed too.


 Beamer and Screen

    We have a 2 by 2m screen and a 800x600 projector, so bring those demos
    and DVD movies.
 
 
 Transport

    Contact the people directly, check who attends on the same dates
    and from where. All the info is on the site. If it doesn't work
    out by the end of the week, give us an alarm and we invent something.
    There is a van driving to hal with ample space for equipment. Contact
    madman@mind.be for arrangements.


 HAL2001 Registration

    Don't forget to register for HAL2001, due 31 Jul (VISA only).



Iguana Colony Team,
