I have to remind myself to prepare something next time, some folders or posters maybe, to get people to play nice. If they need a connection to stream video or live podcasts, then they can talk to us, so we know, and even maybe set up a separate network. Else, if we see any p2p traffic happening, we block access for those devices. If people then see that they are being blocked, and they don’t know why, they can talk to us. It might then very well be that they’ve got a trojan, and are part of a botnet…

And I blame myself too for not being prepared enough, and having Free Australia Wireless promo material ready. I was pre-occupied with my own presentation earlier in the week. We do need to convert more new souls…

Barcamp Sydney 4

The Meraki’s handled traffic pretty good, with people playing WoW, watching youTube, surfing, demoing,… with the Meraki’s handling about 50 users and transferring 1.8 Gb over each day.

You can clearly see when lunch was on…

We talked to lots of people, mostly in the hallway, and in our presentation on Saturday we focused on the Meraki Dashboard and its settings. We also had a group discussion on developing meshing software for mobile devices or laptops. And then there was even a presentation on how, with the help of a couple of Merakis, a student circumvented his school’s net censorship… Some people signed up for a group buy (we’ll get back to you soon!).

Sunday afternoon, we had a Meraki Mini to give away to the attendees.

Free Australia Wireless at BarCamp

“Now into its fifth year and still experiencing unprecedented growth, Wireless World has become the region’s biggest dedicated end-user, solutions-focused event.
The event brings together mobile workers and wireless enterprises and provides them with an effective way to research the industry and then choose the best fit technologies, solutions and suppliers for their organisations.
In short, Wireless World is all about the integration and convergence of wireless, mobile, RF and IP solutions and how this can be applied to improve the way we all communicate and do business.”

I know most of us need to work during the week, so meet us next weekend Saturday and Sunday at BarCamp Sydney v3! Free again!
