Plans for future cleanups and room rearrangements

  • Triage and dump the stack of Suns under the desk closest to the machine room
  • Triage and dump the billions of keyboards in the keyboard drawer in the main corridor
  • Triage and dump as necessary the DEC and other gear upstairs in the loft

Deal with the shelving!

  • Some suggestions have been made that we stack the shelving with the long edges touching, rather than the short edges. Blocked by the lack of tidy arrangements.

Machine Room

  • Mermaid: is only running the dispense server. This could be moved to Mussel or Martello, and the machine decommissioned.
  • Coax network: the DEC coax repeater in the rack can go. We need a 10baseT AUI module for the DECserver on the desk (which runs the door sensors and lock).
  • Manbo: there are plans by various wheel group members to move data storage for /away and /services off Manbo and onto Musundo, the much faster Solaris machine in the machine room. If this happens, Manbo can be moved offsite (where to?) and used via remote access.
  • Morwong: this machine helps keep the LAT network stable, and runs [TRS]' screen session. Several people have suggested that we decommission it; these people have met with mysterious horrifying accidents.
