Hello all,

This is a post directed mainly at the Hackspaces [and Game Jam]. 
We've manage to get a few of the ethernet ports made active in our "Hack 
Zone"/"giant hackspace"/"hackers reunited", what ever we decide to call it 
(ideas!?) where all the hackspaces will be, this is to serve two purposes; 
take the load off WiFi, and allow non WiFi gadgets to talk internet.
However like everything else in the 1830's warehouse the ports are up high! 
Plus there's only 3 or 4 of them.

So were asking if any of you guys can bring the following;  [hopefully you 
may have some old kit lying round]

1.  Ethernet switches, nothing fancy, preferably unmanaged, as long as 
there not running DHCP or other odd services they should be fine. 
2.  Ethernet cables, various lengths, probably need a few to be quite long 
as they'll be wrapping round beams and over partitions e.t.c

I have some spare kit I'll bring along but the more the merrier! Quantity 
is purely dependant on your plans, at least one switch per hackspace is 
probably a good idea.

Thanks
Andy
