[ietf86-tech] IETF86 Orlando: The basics

[Jim Martin]

Gentlepeople,
	Now that the beer discussion has a thread of it's own, let me dump what I know about this meeting:

	It's a joint meeting of the IETF and IEEE 802, being hosted at the Caribe Royale in Orlando. The rough timeline for the meeting is:

	Feb 4 - Juniper ships 2 MX routers to VeriLAN
	Feb 25 - Gear ships from VeriLAN office to Caribe
	March 1 - Deadline for  2x 1G circuit install by Brighthouse
	March 4 - Gear to arrive at Caribe
	March 5 - Jim (and many other of the team) arrive to start setup for joint meeting network
	March 9 - Takeover guest room network at roughly noon
	March 10 - 15 - Normal IETF Network Operations
	March 15/16 - Change the SSIDs to read IEEE, and bring up some IEEE specific services
	March 17-22 - VeriLAN operates the same network for IEEE
	March 22/23  - Network teardown and ship back to VeriLAN

	As you can see, the plan for the network is simple. We'll be building one network to serve both the IETF and IEEE. The SSIDs may change, but the infrastructure, circuits and addressing all stay the same.

	I believe the IETF Volunteer team includes:

	Chris Elliott
	Bill Fenner
	Bill Jensen
	Warren Kumari
	Jim Martin
	Karen O'Donoghue
	Bjoern Zeeb
	Joel Jaeggli
	Lucy Lynch

	If you're not on that list, and want to be, let me know. Similarly, if you don't want to work this meeting, yell as well.

	I believe the team from VeriLAN is:

	Brandon Height
	Nick Kukich
	Lance Hollandsworth
	James Dishongh
	Rick Alfvin
	Collin Doyle

	The meeting is in the conference center. This place is huge ... much larger than the IETF needs, but the IEEE is more spread out. With a few very limited exceptions, we have the entire space the entire time. 

	General info on the conference centre is at http://www.cariberoyale.com/meetings-events/convention-center/
	A general floorplan is http://www.cariberoyale.com/media/979159/conv_center_detail.jpg

	The hotel itself is made up of three stand alone towers of guestrooms, all clustered about a central pool area. You go outside to get from tower to tower. The hotel has ~1200 rooms. The conference center is reached by going through Tower #2 (so you probably want your room there). We'll be taking over all the guestroom and public nets, as well as building a parallel network in the conference center.

	Lots more details in mail to come, but I'll try to break that up by topic.

	- Jim
