Please bring you laptop, a power cord, and a power strip. Northwest Recreation Center has plenty of power cords but we need additional power strips. Really, someone bring a power strip. No one has brought a power strip since we started these meetings#@!

I’m just a lurker and also know about the KDDCUP rules but if turnaround time is a metric and number of machines is not limited, I have an idea.  

 

Now that you have 4 VMs from CoreNap could you get the other ISPs each to pony up a few machines to add to the cloud?  While you’re at it, how about IBM or Dell or UT?
