Location:
Heritage Christian Academy (HCA)
15655 Bass Lake Road
Maple Grove, MN 55311
West corner of Bass Lake Road & Vicksburg Lane N.  (Yahoo and google maps incorrectly place HCA on the South corner, but it is actually on the West corner.)  

Note that Bass Lake Road to the East is under construction.  There are several locations where the road turns sharply or narrows unexpectedly.  Please follow the posted speed limit for your (and your computer's) own safety.

Park in the West lot and use the West entrance.  The West parking lot is behind the building as viewed from Vicksburg or Bass Lake Road.  There is a traffic loop by the entrance that you can use for unloading.  The rooms will be just 20' down the hall from the entrance.  We'll try to have carts available.

Phone number at the site is  763-463-2268.  Don't call till the installfest as this is the phone in the lunchroom.

9:00 Doug Coats & Wayne Johnson
9:30 Other volunteers who want to set up or have installfest infrastructure equipment

If you have other equipment you'd like to bring, feel free.  We can never have too few toys.  Redundancy is good.

Other stuff from the installfest FAQ...
Setup -
        We'll have 8 10' tables (not terribly strong, but they should suffice).  We'll arrange them in 2 U shaped clusters.  Each cluster will have a network switch and a main power strip.  We will also have a smaller table for registration and one for food.
        We also have the room across the hall for demo's etc.  David Christian [dbc at rpath.com] will be demoing.
Internet access -
        Connection (or 2) to HCA backbone with Cable Modem access.  HCA will set up a subnet just for the installfest, with DHCP.  DNS server is via ISP, DHCP will suggest DNS IP address.  (HCA does not have a DNS cache... yet).
Telephone connection -
        We can set up a phone line on request.
Power -
        We have at least 2 20 amp circuits.  That should be good for 15 PCs.  Additional power can be run from other rooms as necessary.
Lunch -
        We'll order pizza from Angino's at 11:30.  People wanting pizza can join the pizza pool at registration (donation requested).
