Planning
Committee had better get working on this!
- Food
- Need to provide meals. There's no Pizza around, you're going to have to cook them.
- Someone needs to take charge and be the "Chef", but everyone must help out.
- Everyone needs to help with dishes as well, but people are usually pretty good about this.
- Price these up. You need to have enough for everyone. In the past we've had a little too much, but that's better than not enough.
- Buying these is an activity that takes time. Don't leave it 'till 5 minutes before dinner.
- No games during dinner rule was good and should happen again.
- Need to provide meals. There's no Pizza around, you're going to have to cook them.
- Internet
- Need 3G SIMs to cover the whole time. Last time we had 2x12GB plans from Internode, first one ran out the final night, IIRC.
- Mast needs acquiring, used [DTK]'s in years past. Maybe antenna as well, were we still using [BOB]'s.
- Network setup night needed. It's harder than you'd think.
- Beatentrack HDD is still in Cabellera, I think.
- Bring Beatentrack, Switches, Pythons, Heathred, Skywhale(?), Long ethernet cable for the mast, power for the mast, the mast, maybe webcams.
- Fix Heathred's game servers. TF2 is perpetually broken.
- Money
- Need to work out how much it costs us.
- $25 per person, per night in the past or the venue.
- 25 people the last couple of years
- Food is not free. Far from it.
- Internet is also not free.
- Have tickets and advertising the minute the EMP is approved.
- In past years "tickets" have been "names on a list".
- Dispense items for tickets.
- Subsidised tickets need to be approved.
- Need to work out how much it costs us.
- Misc stuff
- Check the previous years' pages for stuff not here.
- People should prepare Tech Talks. It'll be good, I promise.
- People should get good at Age of Empires, ET, Civ5, Frak, etc.
