> And congratulations on winning Junkpile Wars single-handedly. You da man! Just to clear up a few misconceptions, I only thought I was going to be doing this one solo. Nima Khazaei (GLLUG non-member, one of our new assurers) was also without a team and I invited him to join (what's the point of multiple one-man teams, anyhow?). Nima was particularly helpful with hunting and pecking through the hardware to find the right parts, gathering diagnostics, etc. Ben also joined us at the end of the competition and was quite helpful in getting past our only major stumbling block. I think we were stuck for nearly an hour on that Kerberos+DNS problem. > Thank you to all of you who volunteered time in the computer lounge, and making sure stuff didn't walk off. And for carrying out those all-important room counts. . . . Whether anyone will bother to figure out the maximum number at any one time, or other statistics useful for planning, is doubtful, especially because we'll probably never again see the spreadsheet used to record and add the numbers. If anyone does or did retrieve /home/gllug/visitors.ods from the server, I would appreciate having a copy of it, just in case someone actually asks for the supporting data. That spreadsheet was very questionable at best, and likely just plain wrong at many points. For example, the maximum size recorded on the sheet was 27 (also another mid-twenties value), yet during the keysigning we had every terminal seat filled (one machine down, so at least 23 at the terminals - only a few were used for keysgining), the entire back laptop table filled (about 8-10), a group of five assurers based around the piano, a few miscellaneous people standing around/sitting by the security desk, and people sitting on both the couch and the armchair by the blocked off entrance. That puts my observed peak count at around 36-40. There was also a similar peak experienced during the other keysigning event, but not quite as severe (~30 perhaps?). There were just too many inconsistencies with how we tracked numbers (ex. do we count computer lounge staff?), plus the couch/chair weren't visible form the security station. And again Chick, thank you for taking over some of this administrative stuff at the last minute. <div class="gmail_quote"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user" target="_blank">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </blockquote></div>
