If anyone has anything to add to Simon the tech from IDS at Emily Carr - please do so. His email and info are below. I've answered most of his questions here - all is well I think from his perspective.

Megan and Barcamponians,

The chairs should be no problem, and similarly for a few tables. Will the format be mostly one presenter at a time?

Projection and screen are no problem. Will you want vocal reinforcement? Will presenters want to amplify audio from their computers? WIFI works, but I will continue to test.

I will be there for 9:00 AM. Presentations every 20 to 30 minutes sounds fine. Is there a break at any point?

I think that's all for now.

Hey Simon,

For Saturday, if you could set up as many chairs as you can round up (on the weekend for Open Mobile I had extra Emily Carr chairs delivered to the space - that would be best if you can swing that again?) 60-100 would be sufficient for sure, as I know that's roughly the max and comfort zone. A few tables wouldn't hurt - definitely for set up for presenters at front of room. Most audience members will sit happily with laptops in lap.

For tech: please have the main projector and screen ready to role - folks will be bringing in their own laptops to hook up to present in most cases (please let us know what is needed for plug-in for both PC and MAC into the front projector). As well - WIFI is a must. Please confirm a login and password for the day from the school. We can bring in external router in case this is a bust (Since Sunday, IT from school said the MAC PC login on WIFI should be just fine - could you please double check that issue?)

The day:

We have 3 spaces that day for the whole event - Revue Stage, IDS and playwright's theatre - Registration and starter sessions are 9:30-10am taking place over at Revue Stage.... You will have the first session rolling in by 10am - BarCamp organizers will take a spin around to each venue in the morning to double check everything - that will happen at 9am - so if you could be there for 9, that would be great.

Other than that - you're there to keep tech in check in the space for the day which will rotate different sessions every 20 mins - half hour until 5pm.

please forward any and all concerns and questions to the cc ed google group above as the whole organizing team will receive it.

cheers,

megan

The only request I have is that we'll need clear instructions on how
to find the room inside Emily Carr. Boris or I will explain the venue
locations in the morning scheduling jam, and I guess we'll call on
Megan or whoever to explain how to get to the EC room. Cheers. DB.

no problem - can do.
